Athlete/linebacker Will Johnson committed to the Hokies a short time ago. His mom broke the news on Twitter.

Johnson is 6'1-6'2 and 200 pounds with room to grow. He is a safety that is expected to grow into a linebacker and has excellent speed. Bud Foster struggled to find roles for speedy undersized linebackers because of the need to set the edge and fill gaps. Johnson will be an interesting test case to find out how new defensive coordinator Justin Hamilton will adjust the defensive scheme to get better speed and tackling in space.
