Virginia Tech added to its 2011 class this week, when 6-0, 175-pound wide receiver Kevin Asante accepted a scholarship offer from head coach Frank Beamer. N.C. State, Pitt and West Virginia also expressed interest in Asante, a product out of Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"I chose Virginia Tech because I love the atmosphere, the coaching staff and the players. I think I fit in with them," said Asante, who informed primary recruiter Kevin Sherman of his intentions earlier this week. He plans to speak with head coach Frank Beamer next weekend, when he makes an official visit to Virginia Tech.
