Virginia Tech Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

As the Virginia Tech Hokies look to keep competing in the ACC, here are a few targets they’ll be hoping commit on National Signing Day.

The Virginia Tech Hokies and Justin Fuente have hit the recruiting trail hard in 2017 and it has showed. The coaching staff has dubbed it #Statement17 and it has lived up to the hype.

After finishing the 2016 season with a 10-4 record, Fuente and the coaching staff have made waves with the 18th-ranked recruiting class, according to 247 Sports. They have 27 commitments in this year’s recruiting class as they approach National Signing Day.

They got the commitment of four-star safety Devon Hunter out of Chesapeake, Virginia showing that Fuente and staff are more than prepared to get better on the field. The Hokies staff also flipped four-star outside linebacker Penn State commit Dylan Rivers of Stephens City, VA their way, adding the 256th-rated player in the nation to a strong incoming class. The past week has been full of excitement for the Virginia Tech Hokies in #Statement17 to say the least.

The Hokies lost quarterback Jerod Evans, receiver Isaiah Ford and tight end Bucky Hodges to the NFL Draft. They’ll have some work to do on offense but bringing in Dalton Keene, a four-star tight end prospect out of Colorado, as well as Hendon Hooker, a 6-foot-5 dual-threat quarterback out of Dudley High School in North Carolina should help. Both enrolled early in January to get a headstart on the Spring.

Virginia Tech have some loose ends to tie up on the recruiting trail, particularly on the offensive and defensive line. Here are some final targets on their list as February 1 approaches.
