A good day for the Virginia Tech Hokies got even better on Saturday when four-star linebacker Xavier Simmons announced he was committed to the Hokies.
Simmons follows Matt Hoffman, who committed to the Hokies earlier in the day on Saturday. He is the ninth commitment in Virginia Tech’s 2022 class, currently sitting at No. 30 nationally. Simmons plays high school football at Northwest Guilford High in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Simmons plays inside linebacker and is currently listed at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, which is terrific size at linebacker. When was the last time the Hokies had the kind of size in the middle?
