Virginia Tech's top target at running back, Stockbridge, GA product Jalen Holston, visited Blacksburg on Saturday.

Holston's mom made the trip with him, and many recruitniks thought the Hokies, the leaders in his recruitment, might earn his commitment on the trip. Intrigue rose when Holston reached out to blue-chip safety Devon Hunter, another top Hokies target in the 2017 class.

Even though Holston did not announce a verbal commitment, he and his mom enjoyed the trip.
"She loved everything," Holston texted The Key Play. "She told Coach Fuente she would feel good if I played for VT. Whatever decision I make she supports it."
Holston does not have any more visits on deck. He does not have a set decision date.

The minor update part had me thinking there was info on Raymon Minor in this post.
If this keeps up, I'm getting a Zohn Burden shirt instead of a numbered player jersey to wear at games.
Interesting highlight reel. First thing I noticed was that he is left handed, but properly switches to his outside arm when breaking free (amazing how often that basic fundamental is ignored even at the college level). Second thing is that he lines up so shallow in the backfield as a single back - almost at the fullback spot with no tailback - and he runs between the tackles every...single...time... and still gets great yardage. He operates exceptionally well in heavy traffic. I then wonder if he is our "top" RB recruit because of that prowess, and if that is very similar to what we will see in the Fuente offense?
It looks like the left half of his line runs the defense off the field pretty consistently. But he hits the hole hard, makes people miss on the second level, and seems fast enough to not get caught. I think those traits would be good in the Fuente offense, or any offense really.
At first glance I thought the title said RB Jalen Hudsen visited VT Saturday. I was confused. I was trying to rationalize if switching to football worked for Devin why not Tyrone? Then I felt like an idiot.
Reading comprehension.....It'll get after ya.
Awesome.
We convinced Mom; I hope he commits.
(a little help, please:
What?)
"Hey, hit me up (please get in contact) as soon as possible."
I'm so behind.......
...or it could the acronym for
Hey, Hokies Movin Up asap!!!
