The 6-foot-3, 177-pounder out of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is rated as the No. 12 receiver in the Class of 2016 and the No. 85 overall prospect in the class, according to 247Sports.com.
Victor had an official visit to Tennessee on Friday, but apparently coach Butch Jones and company couldn’t lure him there. Victor had announced this morning that his top three choices were Ohio State, Tennessee and West Virginia.
