Lance Williams Offensive Line, Class of 2023 Alcoa High School, Alcoa, TN 6-3, 306

Virginia Tech picked up its first commitment of the 2023 recruiting class when Alcoa (TN) offensive lineman Lance Williams made his pledge. He narrowed his list to the Hokies and Cincinnati, and eventually settled on Tech.

Williams has taken four visits to Blacksburg, and he also held a close relationship with the previous Virginia Tech staff. Hokies assistant coach Shawn Quinn was college roommates with Williams’ father, and he also has a good relationship with offensive line coach Joe Rudolph. Those two connections made the transition from one staff to another go smoothly.

Williams also held Power 5 offers from Georgia Tech, Kansas, Kentucky, Purdue, South Carolina and West Virginia. 247 ranks him as a 3-star recruit and the No. 32 prospect in the state of Tennessee.

With his verbal, Williams is the first committed player in Brent Pry’s first full recruiting class at Virginia Tech.
