Top Camp Performer Commits to VT

Virginia Tech’s second summer camp has yielded another 2010 class commitment. The Hokies have received 2010 class verbal commitment #12, from a prospect the staff offered at Saturday’s camp. Tech’s newest commit informed primary recruiter Curt Newsome of his decision earlier this evening.

“I talked to Coach Newsome earlier to ask him some questions. I liked what I heard. I liked Virginia Tech. I’ve always liked it. I called him back and told him I wanted to commit,” said King’s Fork (Suffolk, VA) linebacker/running back Dominique Patterson .

“When I called earlier, I wanted to know how many linebackers they planned on signing, if I would red-shirt and if I would get playing time after I’d red-shirted. He told me I would be red-shirted, which I don’t mind. He said it is all up to me after that. I must impress the coaches. If I don’t get playing time, it’s my fault. I liked that.

“It was important to find somewhere I’d fit in. Virginia Tech is the place and the right decision for me. It is not too far from home, so my family can see me play, but it is not too close.”
