“I made up my mind. I’m choosing to go to Virginia Tech,” said Hill, who chose the Hokies over offers from Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee and Virginia, among others. “The fact that my family will be able to come and see me play and the fact that Virginia Tech is not too close and not too far away were probably the main factors.”
