VTScoop.com has confirmed that Virginia Tech basketball player Devin Wilson will try his hand at football, attempting to walk-on to the football program starting on Thursday night. Wilson, a 6-foot 4-inch guard for Buzz Williams, played in 32 games on the season for the Hokies basketball program.

Wilson was a 247Sports Composite three star wide receiver in high school turning down offers from Akron, NC State, Ohio and Temple to play basketball for the Hokies.

The Hokies are looking to build wide receiver depth behind proven threats Isaiah Ford, Cam Phillips and tight end/wide receiver hybrid Bucky Hodges. The Hokies signed four wide receivers in February including three that are currently on campus.

In his three years at Virginia Tech, Wilson has scored 565 total points on the basketball court.
