2016 offensive tackle Patrick Kearns verbally committed to the Hokies, Saturday at the Frank Beamer BBQ.

Virginia Tech offensive line coach Stacy Searels offered the Rome, Georgia product in May. After his offer, the 6-5, 275 pound prospect told The Key Play, "I definitely want good academics, but I really want a place to feel at home, that makes me feel comfortable."

The 247Sports composite ranks Kearns as a 3-star prospect. He selected Virginia Tech over N.C. State, Kentucky and Georgia Tech. He joins OT Thomas Jarrett Hopple as Tech's second offensive lineman in committed for the 2016 cycle.

Kearns made his first trip to Blacksburg on June 15, and was sold on the campus.

"I really liked it, it was just such a great college town," Kearns told The Key Play in July . "They showed me around the new indoor facility, it was something else."

"He's really my kind of guy (Stacy Searels), a country guy like me," Kearns told The Key Play in July. "I'd love to have him as my offensive line coach someday."

Someday was Saturday.
