Hokies Land Class of 2017 Running Back Jalen Holston

Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente has wasted no time getting the football program back in the national spotlight in his first year on the job.

From a 9-4 regular season that included a narrow loss to #3 Clemson in the ACC Championship game, to putting together a sizable 2017 recruiting class, Fuente has made his presence felt quickly in the ACC.

On Thursday night, Fuente’s Hokies continued their positive momentum on the recruiting trail, as Jalen Holston, a 5’11”, 200 lbs. running back out of Stockbridge, Georgia committed to Virginia Tech as the 18th member of the 2017 recruiting class, and the first running back of the group.
