Going Long! All-American Punter commits to Virginia Tech

Well, if the Hokies are going to get an Army All-American commitment, there's some degree of ‘yeah, that makes sense' to said commitment being a punter. After a week in silence, China Grove, North Carolina punter Marshall Long has made public that he's committed to Virginia Tech for the 2016 season. Despite being an Army All-American, Long is unranked on all major recruiting services. Such is the life of a punter/kicker, unfortunately, even the very good ones.

After much prayer and thought, I am blessed enough to say I've committed to Virginia Tech… https://t.co/BwSwtbXYWh
