Whitehead has taken a few visits - mostly around the Southeast - but given that he's just finishing up his freshman year, there's plenty of time to continue his journey on the recruiting trail. The Hokies are in the door early, and should get a chance to host him this offseason or for a game in the Fall. As his offer list grows, the total scope of his recruitment will continue to become more clear. Mississippi native Derek Jones is his lead recruiter, a nice connection.

A high school quarterback whose size may limit him to certain schemes at that position (especially since he doesn't have a huge arm), Whitehead has the overall athleticism to project to a number of different spots if he doesn't grow more. A 10.98 time in the 100-meter dash as a freshman this Spring is cookin' for a high school prospect, and the defensive backfield or receiving corps could be a good fit for him. He splits defensive backs in the open field easily, and he can use his speed to run through tackles, even though he's still building lower-body strength. There's a lot to like as he gets more on-field experience.
