Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Aundre Kearney Commits to the Hokies

Hokies receive a double-dose of good recruiting news on Thursday.

[@D1Dre7]

Virginia Tech certainly made a statement on the recruiting trail Thursday. The Hokies bookended their second spring practice with a pair of verbal commitments; one expected, the other out of left field (at least among recruitniks).

Quarterback Hendon Hooker announced for Tech during a planned ceremony at his high school earlier in the day. Meanwhile, fellow 2017-cycle recruit — linebacker Aundre Kearney — needed just a handful of characters and a few emojis to make his pledge.

The 247Sports Composite rates Kearney as a 3-star prospect. The 6-0, 215 pound Mandarin HS (Jacksonville, FL) product originally committed to Miami on June 9, 2015, but decommitted on February 12.

I asked French for a quick analysis of his highlights.

Projects as a whip; good bend, contorts his body to the football; very productive; doesn't look big on film; drapes himself onto runners instead of putting them into the dirt; body keeps moving and moving to the football; play at 2:04 is impressive, gets off blockers to the back and envelopes him down.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
