Texas Transplant Brailyn Franklin has a very good chance at becoming a Hokie. Thanks to strong early interest from the coaching staff, the big time athlete might just be the next VT DE or LB.
There are names you frequently see pop up in the recruiting circuit, especially with certain special circumstances at certain schools. For the Hokies, that's Brailyn Franklin. A native Texan, Franklin moved up to Virginia for his junior year. His parents and family recently came up from Texas to visit Blacksburg with him, which kind of puts the writing on the wall- you don't bring everyone up and out from Arlington to just have a good ol' time, generally.
