Hoyt has also received scholarship offers from Pittsburgh and BYU. He took an official visit to Pitt this past weekend, an experience he told TSL sister site DreamBackfield.com "went great."

An official visit to BYU is reportedly scheduled for this weekend.

Virginia Tech, which already has a commitment from Salem senior RB/WR Coleman Fox, has offered the Salem standout a "grayshirt" opportunity. This means that if Hoyt were to accept he would sign a letter of intent with the rest of the class of 2015 but would not enroll until January of 2016.

Stay tuned to TSL for more on this latest development.
