Marcellus Barnes
Cornerback, Class of 2024
McCallie School, Chattanooga, TN
6-2, 170

If you thought Virginia Tech was finished picking up verbal commitments on Monday, you were wrong. Shortly after Aidan Lynch made his announcement, Tennessee cornerback Marcellus Barnes committed to the Hokies. He is the 11th commitment of the 2024 class and the third defensive back, joining Joshua Clarke and Quentin Reddish.

On May 8, Barnes named a top seven of the Hokies, Florida State, Ole Miss, Georgia, Mississippi State, Michigan State and Baylor. He visited Blacksburg over the weekend and didn’t wait long afterwards to make his commitment.

Barnes is either a 3-star or 4-star recruit, depending on the service.

247: 3-star, No. 46 cornerback, No. 15 player in Tennessee
On3: 4-star, No. 132 player nationally, No. 19 cornerback, No. 2 player in Tennessee

Barnes took his official visit to Tech along with the Hokies’ three other most recent commitments, Gabriel Williams, Andrew Hanchuk and Aidan Lynch.
