Virginia Tech got a pleasant surprise this morning when 2019 athlete Cam’Ron Kelly announced his verbal commitment to the Hokies. 

What makes this a surprise commitment is that Kelly did not include Virginia Tech in his final eight schools before making his announcement.  His eight finalists were Virginia, Penn State, Clemson, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Auburn, and Washington State.

Kelly plays for Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, VA.  He is a defensive back in high school, and he is projected to play in the secondary for the Hokies.  Kelly becomes Tech’s highest-rated commitment of the 2019 class thus far…
