He was named All-Central Piedmont Conference at wide receiver in each of his final three seasons as well as All-Northwest North Carolina in his senior season after averaging 21 yards per reception with 10 touchdown receptions. As a senior, Deablo committed to play college football at Virginia Tech over offers from North Carolina and N.C. State.

In 2018, Deablo started 11 games at safety and recorded 55 tackles, two passes defended, and one fumble recovery. He started all 13 games in 2019 and finished second on the team with a career-high 84 tackles. Against Notre Dame, he returned a fumble 98 yards for a touchdown and was named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Defensive Back of the Week.
