Virginia Tech just started the official 2017 recruiting cycle with a bang. Joining defensive back Devante Smith is Fredericksburg, VA defensive end Tyjuan Garbutt. Rated as a 4-star DE by Rivals, Scout, and 247, and a 3-star by laggard ESPN, Garbutt rates as the 190th player in the country by Rivals, the 214th by 247, and the 171st by Scout. He's a headlining piece for Justin Fuente to close on this early, especially in the state of Virginia. He's been offered by UNC, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, Penn State, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky, and others.
