"They’re a much smaller school compared to Alabama and Clemson, but I like them. They’re doing the right things. They’re close to home. They have good relationships with my parents. The coaches have shown lots of love." - KJ Henry to SEC Country's Chris KirschnerIn addition to this, Henry said that Virginia Tech is the school everyone is "underestimating" to Rivals' Adam Friedman along with having lots of praise for the Hokies in that article on why VT made his top 5. Here's a snippet from that article. https://twitter.com/FuenteFootball/status/892157429462556673 While it may be hard to believe for some, it's clear that Virginia Tech is a serious contender for Henry and should be all the way till he makes his decision. The Hokies are expected to have Henry on campus for an official visit at some point with it being likely that VT pushes for that official to happen when the Hokies host Clemson in late September. While Alabama and Clemson will both be significant challenges, Virginia Tech has a great chance with Henry having good relationships with VT commits Tre Turner and DJ Crossen along with being from near the Greensboro area where the Hokies have had tons of success in the 2018 class. Those connections could prove valuable in a recruiting era where connections have become more important and recruits appear to be more interested in playing with close friends. Despite that, going against the two teams that played in the national championship will not be easy with the Crimson Tide and Tigers being seen as the two favorites to get the five-star DE. However, the Hokies should not be discounted as though some may see them as a "sleeper", Henry has made it clear they are a serious contender. Virginia Tech is right in the hunt for five-star DE KJ Henry with the Hokies having a great opportunity at getting what would be one of the biggest commitments in program history.
