A change of plans for Xavier Boyce meant for very good news for Virginia Tech, as the 6-4, 200-pound standout free safety recruit verbally committed to the Hokies earlier this afternoon. The Landstown (Virginia Beach, VA) product had considered waiting until the fall before making a commitment, but after talking it over with his high school coaches he decided to go ahead and pledge to Virginia Tech.
Boyce is the 17th rising high school senior to commit to Virginia Tech for the 2008 recruiting class.
