Maiden (N.C.) class of 2017 athlete Caleb Farley took to Twitter this afternoon to announce an important decision, one that came sooner than originally expected.
“I had stated earlier I will be verbally committing to a college June 11, but I have made my decision and would like to move on in the recruiting process. I want to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity as well as my family and friends. I would also like to thank all other schools that were recruiting me! I am committing to play football at Virginia Tech. Go Hokies and start jumping! God bless,” Farley wrote in this tweet.
As Maiden’s starting signal caller last season, the 6’3″, 180-pound Farley threw for 1,854 yards and rushed for 1,545 more, totaling 37 touchdowns (20 pass, 17 rush) in the process. Maiden finished 2015 with a 9-4 overall record.
Farley, who is rated a 3-star recruit by 247Sports, considered offers from Wake Forest, Ohio and Old Dominion before committing to Virginia Tech and head coach Justin Fuente, who offered the talented athlete a scholarship on February 27. Farley is the second prospect out of the state of North Carolina to commit to the Hokies, joining dual-threat quarterback Hendon Hooker. Linebackers Rayshard Ashby and Aundre Kearney, defensive end TyJuan Garbutt, and defensive back Devante Smith round out Tech’s current class of 2017.

I think that CJF is going to be very popular with the recruits. Will take a few years, but we are on the way back to being a contender.
He was a must get per Fuente, loves his speed and playmaking ability
Saw the young man play twice this past season.
He’s a superb athlete. I would be surprised if he
doesn’t end up as a WR for Tech.
A very good get.
Just noted early in video … after throwing a completed pass from his own 25 yd line, Farley sprinted downfield 40 yds to stay in the play. That is hustle!

WOW!!!!!! Love his tweet……………you can tell this young man has a head on his shoulders. Will be a great leader and representative for VT! Welcome to Blacksburg and GO HOKIES!!!!!!
