Tremaine Edmunds Follows His Family, Chooses the Hokies

The Hokies completed their collection of Edmunds brothers when 2015 linebacker Tremaine announced last night that he'll be joining the Hokies.

Edmunds was also considering Maryland, USC and Wake Forest, but he committed to join his brothers in Blacksburg, announcing his decision on NBC station WSLS.

"I could see myself playing at all of those schools, but Tech was just the best," Tremaine said. "They have such a top line defense and they're one of the best programs in the country."

He made his decision official a little after 6 p.m. last tonight but he didn't keep his family in the dark.

"I told them before I announced on air, so they knew," he said. "My brothers were really excited, they were excited for me."

However, he didn't let any of the coaches at the schools he was considering know how he was leaning until the broadcast.

"I didn't let any coaches know, so they found out on air like everyone else," he said.

But he quickly followed up with the Hokies to share the good news.

"I called Coach Stinespring and talked to him on Twitter," he said. "They were all really excited. I got to talk to Coach Brown, Coach Foster, a few others."

Now that he'll officially be following in Trey and Terrell's footsteps, he's looking forward to getting on the field with his family.

"It really means a lot, we just have chemistry," he said. "We know how each other plays. I can't wait to get out there."

In the mean time, he'll content himself with heading down to Blacksburg to watch his brothers on the field as he finishes his senior season.

"I want to be at a lot of games this year," he said. "I'm not sure which yet, but I really want to get down there."
