Virginia Tech added its third verbal commitment on Saturday when offensive lineman Aiden Brown opted for the Hokies. The 6-3, 270 pound The Bullis School (Potomac, MD) product joins WR Sean Savoy and ATH Bryce Thompson as part of Tech's "Blacksburg Bash" haul.

"First off, I would like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my recruiting process," Brown wrote in a tweet. "It has been an extensive journey but I am thankful that I have found a place that I can truly call home. I would like to thank every coach who saw potential in me, and gave me an opportunity to live out my dream at their university. With that being said, and after careful consideration, I can proudly say that I am 100% committed to Virginia Tech."

Justin Fuente offered Brown after a June camp workout.

"When I was back in the coaches' offices, I was with my dad, and we were talking about how much the grocery bill was, because I have three younger brothers," Brown told The Key Play in June. "(Fuente) was like 'I'd like to help make things a little easier the next four years and offer you a scholarship.'"

Virginia Tech is Brown's lone Power Five offer, and he is currently unranked by the 247Sports Composite. However, Brown's athleticism, competitiveness, and feet are among the attributes that sold OL coach Vance Vice.

"Coach Vice emphasized that he's looking for linemen that can move, and I feel like I did a good job with the movement drills and the shuttle and all that stuff, I think I did pretty well," Brown told The Key Play in June. "They like that I can move, in the shuttle, I ran a 4.5 in the shuttle. I was very smooth in all the agility drills and I was a great competitor, but most of all, they loved my film."
