Liberty picked up a huge commitment from 3-star wide receiver Nasir Newkirk, as he announced Saturday afternoon.

The 6’2″, 185 pound athlete has offers from Liberty, Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, James Madison, Old Dominion, USF, and others.
He previously announced a top 10 of Liberty, Charlotte, Appalachian State, Duke, East Carolina, Georgia, USF, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin.
