Marshawn Williams Commits To VT

Hampton (VA) running back Marshawn Williams has become the second member of the 2014 class to commit to Virginia Tech.  The 6’0″, 205-pound prospect called Hokies primary recruiter Curt Newsome today to make the pledge, which comes two days after he was in Blacksburg on an unofficial visit.

“I have been wanting to (commit), but I’ve been sketchy about it because I didn’t visit or see the campus or anything.  I wanted to review the academics,” said Williams.  “After I did all that, I was ready.”
