Virginia remains hot on the recruiting trail. The Wahoos have reeled in their fifth commitment in the 2017 class.

UVa’s newest commitment is Winston-Salem (N.C.) Carver athlete Germane Crowell.

The son of former UVa and Detroit Lions wide receiver, Germane Crowell, chose Virginia over offers from Virginia Tech, Duke, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Penn State, N.C. State, Syracuse, and Wake Forest among others.

After two visits in three weeks to Virginia Tech, Crowell returned to Charlottesville on Thursday and it was the latest visit that sealed the deal for the 6-foot-3, 180-pounder.

Listed as an athlete, Crowell was offered by the Wahoos as a cornerback.

He joins Virginia’s class which already includes another legacy, Fairburn (Ga.) Landmark Christian School safety Joey Blount, as well as Woodberry Forest (Va.) Woodberry Forest School quarterback Lindell Stone, Sterling (Va.) Dominion defensive tackle Tommy Christ, and Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek center Tyler Fannin.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Crowell is rated three-stars.
