2016 quarterback Joshua Jackson visited Virginia Tech over the weekend. After his visit, he wasted no time setting his decision date: this coming Thursday.

When a player visits a school and then immediately sets an announcement date within the next week, it’s a pretty good sign that he’s going to commit to the school he just visited.

Rivals: 3-stars, #24 dual threat QB, #14 player in Michigan
