Another day, another Virginia Tech commitment. On Saturday, it was wide receiver Tucker Holloway. When the clock struck midnight, three-star defensive lineman Rashaud Pernell announced he was committing to Virginia Tech.
Pernell is a 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive lineman from Highland Springs High School. The Hokies are not only getting a good player in Pernell but are working to get back into one of the best programs in the state.
Highland Springs is coached by former Virginia Tech defensive back Loren Johnson and seemingly sends players to FBS schools on an annual basis. Just last year, two Highland Springs stars signed with the Oklahoma Sooners.
