Tyjuan Garbutt Decommits from Hokies

Wednesday afternoon got slightly less boring with some recruiting news. Unfortunately, the news wasn't good for the Virginia Tech. Tyjuan Garbutt, a 4* DE from Fredericksburg, VA, announced his decommitment from Virginia Tech.

Interestingly, Garbutt - who committed to the Hokies back in February - still views VT as his top choice. So if there remains a strong desire to be in Blacksburg, why did Garbutt decommit? There could be multiple possibilities. He may have gotten cold feet. He may have people whispering in his ear to go play ball somewhere else, whether that be coaches, friends, or even family.
