Anderson’s final group of schools he’ll choose from is Virginia Tech, Tennessee, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Maryland. The Green Hill Run product is a Virginia Beach native who had 15 touchdowns in 2023.

Harrell has his list of schools down to three, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and Maryland. He was recently in Blacksburg to make a visit ahead of his decision. Getting either one to commit to Virginia Tech, if not both, would be a big win for Brent Pry and his staff in terms in in-state recruiting.
