Thomas Jefferson (Jefferson Hills, PA) tight end/defensive end Chris Drager was aiming for an August decision. But, after participating in Virginia Tech’s camp on Saturday, he decided now was the time for a decision. And, last night, the 6-4, 235-pound standout became the seventh player to commit to the Hokies for the 2007 recruiting class.

“ Chris Drager committed to Virginia Tech last evening,” Thomas Jefferson head coach Bill Cherpak said. “He visited there again over the weekend and decided when he got back.
