Virginia Tech football has secured another commitment – wide receiver Cam Wade, rated as a three-star on 247Sports and a four-star on On3, committed to the program this morning.

Wade is a 5-foot-11, 165-pound wideout who currently attends Loudoun Sports Academy in Leesburg, Va. He came to Leesburg from Kentucky and played at Paducah Tilghman High School (Paducah, Ky.) in his junior season.

On the 247Sports site, Wade is assessed a three-star rating of 88, ranked as the No. 76 wide receiver in the class and the No. 12 player in the state of Virginia.

In the 247Sports composite, Wade is ranked as the No. 353 prospect in the 2027 class, the No. 46 wide receiver and the No. 8 player in the state of Virginia.

Per 247Sports, Wade received 26 offers and officially visited Virginia Tech (June 5). At the time of writing, Wade still has official visits set for both Florida State (June 12) and Maryland (June 19). Here's a full list of his offers on 247:

  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Auburn
  • Cincinnati
  • Colorado
  • Florida
  • Florida State
  • Georgia Tech
  • Indiana
  • Kentucky
  • Liberty
  • LSU
  • Louisville

  • Memphis
  • Mississippi State
  • Missouri
  • North Carolina
  • Ole Miss
  • Purdue
  • South Carolina
  • Tennessee
  • Toledo
  • Vanderbilt
  • Virginia Tech
  • Wisconsin

Wade is the third wide receiver in Virginia Tech's 2027 class, joining Roanoke Catholic commit Demarcus Brown (6-foot-3.5, 180 pounds) and Anthony Roberts (6-foot-2, 185 pounds).

Wade profiles as a smaller-bodied receiver, but he can be used in the slot to take advantage of his speed. If he remains committed to Virginia Tech, he could serve as a useful option as a returner.

With the commitment of Wade, Virginia Tech's recruiting class now ranks No. 9 on 247Sports, behind only Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Miami, Florida, Notre Dame, Clemson, Penn State and UCLA. The Hokies have 219.89 points on the site, while UCLA has 220.00. Virginia Tech has four four-stars and 16 three-stars, while UCLA has seven four-stars and 13 three-stars respectively.
