Virginia Tech has received three more football commitments for the Class of 2009, plus its first commitment for 2010. All four came after Saturday's camp for high school players, the first of two such events in Blacksburg this summer at which Tech coaches will evaluate potential recruits.
The 2009 commitments are Jerrodd Williams, a 6-foot, 185-pound cornerback from D.W. Daniel High School in Central, S.C.; James Hopper, a 5-9, 179-pound corner from Seventy-First High in Fayetteville, N.C.; and Cody Journell, a 6-0, 175-pound kicker from Giles High School in Pearisburg.
Tech's only previous 2009 commitment was David Wang, a 6-2, 300-pound defensive tackle who committed in September. Wang, from Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, is the brother of Ed Wang, Tech's junior offensive tackle.
The 2010 commitment is rising junior Nic Acree, a 6-6, 300-pound defensive tackle from King William High School. Acree had scholarship offers from Virginia, Penn State, Maryland, Tennessee and Purdue. Committing so early is a relief for Acree, said incoming King William coach Zach Just, Hanover's former offensive coordinator. "He gets your attention right away just by walking in the room. Realistically, he should dominate for us." - Darryl Slater
