The NCAA’s early signing period kicked off on Wednesday, and the Virginia Tech Hokies welcomed 19 new young men to Blacksburg. This class wasn’t without minor disappointments, such as running back Ramon Brown flipping his commitment on Tuesday to Maryland (of all places) — and quarterback Alex Orji signing with Michigan on Wednesday.
Considering that new head coach Brent Pry has only been on the job for over two weeks, getting most of this class signed, sealed, and delivered is a significant accomplishment. Overall, since Justin Fuente’s dismissal in the middle of November, the Hokies lost five commitments.
