Following an injury-plagued junior season, Butler (Matthews, N.C.) star receiver Jarrett Boykin needed a big-time senior season to draw in the major Division 1A offers. The 6-2, 190-pound receiver caught five receptions for 148 yards and a score in the 2007 season opener and has never looked back, continuing his quality play and ending up with 54 receptions for 1,082 yards during the regular season. And now, Boykin has accepted a scholarship at Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech was the first major program to offer, jumpstarting his recruitment.
