Virginia Tech officially added Ball State transfer Damon Hazelton on Monday.
Hazelton, who must sit out one year because of NCAA transfer rules, helps bolster a Virginia Tech receiver group that has question marks for this season and beyond.
Cam Phillips, a rising senior, is the only receiver back who contributed in a significant way a year ago, so bringing in Hazelton gives the Hokies a year to prepare him for a big role in 2018.
Last season, Hazelton played in 11 games for Ball State, leading the team with four touchdown receptions while finishing second with 51 catches for 505 yards.
