Jaylen Griffin is a Hokie
The day isn't over yet, but already Virginia Tech's coaching staff has picked up its fourth commitment at the Blacksburg Bash recruiting event. Linebacker Jaylen Griffin followed 2018 wideout Bryce Thompson in picking VT. The 6-2, 217-pounder is a two-star who recently decommitted from Cal. He is visiting for the Blacksburg Bash today.
He is the 14th member of VT's 2017 class, and third linebacker, joining in-stater Rayshard Ashby and Florida prospect Aundrey Ricardo-Kearney. Boston College, Colorado State, East Carolina, and Louisville joined the Hokies and Golden Bears on his lit of finalists.
