Vick picks Virginia Tech over Syracuse in recruiting shock
Warwich High School star Michael Vick chose Virginia Tech over Syracuse citing distance as a major factor. Syracuse pivots to Derrick Joseph of Marrero, Louisiana, as a top quarterback target amid ongoing recruitment efforts. Joseph had earlier committed to Tulane, then retracted, with reports he may still announce for Syracuse or Tulane. Syracuse plans Troy Nunes to sign on Feb. 4, while existing quarterbacks include Madel Williams and Malik Campbell. Vick’s mother has concerns about Tech and may sign the binding letter of intent, keeping the outcome unresolved.
