Keylen Adams
Wide Receiver, Class of 2024
Green Run, Virginia Beach, VA
6-2, 185
On Thursday, Virginia Tech and Brent Pry received a commitment from Green Run (VA) wide receiver Keylen Adams. One of the top wideouts on the Hokies' board, the Virginia Beach native is the 15th commit in their 2024 class, the fifth from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the second wide receiver.
Adams, who officially visited Blacksburg on June 23, had Alabama, Ohio State, Pitt and South Carolina in his top-five schools. He had numerous offers, ranging from Boston College, Duke, Florida State, Miami, Maryland and Michigan to Ole Miss, NC State, North Carolina, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia and West Virginia.
He's a unanimous four-star prospect by the recruiting services and a top-five player in Virginia:
He's the first top-five player in Virginia to commit to the Hokies since 2019 (Jaden Payoute), and it's the first time Tech's had verbals from three top-10 players in the same class since 2017 (Devon Hunter, Dylan Rivers and TyJuan Garbutt). Adams is also the first top-five recruit from the 757 to commit to Virginia Tech since Devon Hunter in 2017.
With Adams in the fold, the Hokies have received verbals from three of the top-10 players in the Commonwealth, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings: Adams (3), Gerard Johnson (6 — DE, Virginia Beach) and Chanz Wiggins (9 — WR, King George). Tech's two other in-state commits — Joshua Clarke (ATH, Oakton) and Noah Jenkins (S, Highland Springs) — are top-20 prospects.
