Virginia Tech was able to add a very nice defensive piece to their 2017 recruiting class on Sunday afternoon, as 4-star outside linebacker Nathan Proctor committed to the Hokies.
Proctor, a 6’3″ 220 lbs. prospect out of Indian Head, Maryland, announced his decision at the Under Armour All-American game, choosing the Hokies over Pittsburgh and Penn State, among others.
Proctor is the highest-rated member of the Hokies’ 2017 class to date to commit, and should provide Virginia Tech with good young depth at the linebacker position heading into next season.
The players who will receive a majority of the reps are all returning starters and upperclassmen, namely, rising junior Tremaine Edmunds, rising senior Andrew Motuapuaka, and rising redshirt-senior Anthony Shegog.
