Obasi gives Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall 11 commitments in the class of 2018. Two of the 11 — Obasi and Florida slot receiver/returner Tavares Kelly — are being recruited as receivers. The class also boasts one quarterback, three offensive linemen, three linebackers, two safeties and one placekicker.

A two-way player at Milford Mill, Obasi hauled in 49 catches for 939 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2016. He added four interceptions from the free safety spot his junior season.

In addition to those five schools mentioned above, Obasi also claimed offers from Boston College, Duke, East Carolina, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest. An excellent student, the Milford Mill product also received heavy interest from a number of Ivy League schools.
