Virginia   Tech   picked   up   a   valuable   pledge   on   Tuesday   when   2014   tailback   <a<a href='/player/--3414/'>   href='/player/Marshawn-Williams-3392/'>   Marshawn Williams     made   his   verbal   commitment.    Williams   is   Tech's   second   verbal   of   the   2014   class.

The   numbers   Williams   put   up   during   the   2011   season   were   not   flashy.    He   rushed   for   nearly   700   yards   and   added   13   touchdowns,   while   also   playing   well   on   the   defensive   side   of   the   ball.    He   was   splitting   time   with   two   senior   running   backs   who   were   talented   players   in   their   own   right.    With   all   of   the   carries   to   himself   in   2012,   look   for   Williams   to   explode   in   his   junior   season.
