College coaches had taken notice of Wyoming Valley West (Plymouth, PA) star Eugene Lewis in the months immediately following an outstanding sophomore season performance in 2009. He started at quarterback last season as a junior and continued to show off tremendous playmaking ability. Last December and January, Connecticut, Pittsburgh and Rutgers came through with offers. Then Penn State. Virginia Tech and others followed suit in the spring of 2011, and the Hokies are very much in the hunt for one of the top wide receiver prospects in the country.
Lewis visited Virginia Tech in April, taking in a spring practice.
