The 2012 recruiting season has already begun, and Florida State is off to another fast start. Miami also has three commitments already, and Virginia Tech recently received a verbal from ESPNU 150 Watch List cornerback Donaldven Manning of Miami, Fla. It was an impressive start for the Hokies, as Manning was already being heavily recruited and had received offers from Alabama, Florida, Miami and North Carolina.

According to ESPN Recruiting, Manning registered an electronically timed 4.66 40-yard dash, 4.1 20-yard shuttle and a 33.8-inch vertical prior to his junior season at the Nike Miami Combine.
