Virginia Tech football has reached double-digit commits in its 2012 recruiting class. Norfolk Christian (Norfolk, VA) wide receiver/free safety Mario Nixon gave the Tech coaches the good news this afternoon, three weeks and a day after making an unofficial visit for the Spring Game.
"I called Coach Stinespring and told him. I was a little nervous. I called at 3 today," Nixon said. "I pretty much told him two weeks ago I was real serious about it. I said I'd pray on it and talk to my folks. I talked to my folks. They asked if I was really sure this is what I wanted to do. I told them yes, I am sure I want to go to Virginia Tech. I went ahead and pulled the trigger.
