The Virginia Tech Hokies had a good day Saturday. The baseball team defeated Oklahoma to inch one game closer to the school’s first-ever appearance in the College World Series. And the football team added a commitment from one of its top targets.
Early Saturday morning, offensive lineman Layth Ghannam took to Twitter to announce his commitment to Virginia Tech. A 6-foot-5, 280-pound offensive lineman from George Washington High School in Charleston, West Virginia, Ghannam picked the Hokies over West Virginia, N.C. State, North Carolina and others.
Ultimately, it came down to the Hokies and Mountaineers for Ghannam, who lived in Bluefield, Virginia, before his family moved to Charleston.
