Virginia Tech has its quarterback of the 2017 class, Dudley HS (Greensboro, NC) QB Hendon Hooker. Hooker is the third commitment in the class.
Justin Fuente isn't one to mess around with quarterbacks. Despite having the high interest of Alex Faniel (who they might view more as an athlete/tight end, at this point), his lack of commitment sure opened up a slot. Thursday, Dudley High School QB Hendon Hooker committed to Virginia Tech after a relatively short recruiting process. The time between the scholarship offer and the commitment? 23 days. That's a really quick sales job. Tech was likely to take only one recruit in this class- mostly because our depth chart only loses one scholarship player, Brenden Motley, at the end of the year.
