The second highest rated commitment in school history is now official as Stephen Sings has signed with Liberty.

The 64 225 pound defensive lineman is a 3-star rated prospect who was previously committed to Virginia Tech. After he de-committed in October, Sings pledged to the Flames in January. He had offers from a litany of schools including Virginia Tech, Auburn, East Carolina, Georgia Southern, Maryland, North Carolina, Old Dominion, Oregon, Syracuse, and UCF.

Sings attends Vance High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to 247Sports, he is the 2nd highest rated prospect in school history, just behind rising sophomore Tayvion Land.

He was having issues getting qualified academically, but amidst the COVID-19 pandemic the NCAA announced earlier this month it is dramatically reducing the academic requirements for incoming Division I freshman athletes will need to meet in order to be eligible to practice and play during the 2020-21 school year.

These athletes will not be required to submit an SAT or ACT, and their classroom work during this academic year essentially will be disregarded if they had earned at least a 2.3 grade-point average in 10 NCAA-approved core courses before the start of their senior year of high school.
