Hokies add JUCO linebacker Amare Barno before Signing Day

Commitments are now rolling in, it seems. Another JUCO defender will be signing with Virginia Tech this Wednesday, as outside linebacker/potential defensive end Amare Barno committed to the Hokies today. Barno was a recent offer from Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas, but he is originally from Blythewood, South Carolina. Deciding between an offer from Nebraska and the Hokies, other offers included Florida Atlantic, Old Dominion, and Marshall. Much like the prior JUCO addition of Dashawn Crawford, Barno will hopefully provide some experienced depth to either the linebacking corps or the defensive end corps if he can put on enough weight by fall.
