Last offseason, the Hokies traveled to South Georgia to recruit one-guard Tyrie Jackson. Buzz Williams double dipped into Tift County High School as forward Preston “PJ” Horne committed to the Hokies over the weekend, with two offers on the table (VT and Murray State) per 24/7. Horne has a stout build at 6-6, 230 pounds – for comparison, Chris Clarke is the same height but weighs about 30 pounds less than Horne. The 2017 forward joins Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Wabissa Bede in the Hokies’ recruiting class.
Horne does not have a star rating per 24/7 or any other recruiting sites, but like all Buzz Williams recruits, he will probably end up underrated due to his lack of great size for his position.
