North Carolina athlete Tralon Mitchell commits to Virginia Tech

The Virginia Tech Hokies finished the week in style Saturday when North Carolina athlete Tralon Mitchell announced his commitment to the Hokies.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Mitchell is listed as an athlete and plays running back for Southern Nash High School in Bailey, North Carolina. It sounds like Mitchell was recruited as a running back for the Hokies. He can also help as a kick/punt returner. Mitchell listed six offers and chose the Hokies over East Carolina.

Mitchell is a three-sport star for Southern Nash, also excelling in basketball and track. He told Brian Dohn of 247Sports why Virginia Tech was the right fit for him.
