Tyas Martin Commits to the Hokies

Virginia Tech landed a massive 2021 defensive tackle prospect.

He explained his decision to Rivals.

"It wasn't hard because I have been leaning toward Virginia Tech for a while now. I have been thinking about it for a long time now with my family, and last night we had a talk with Coach (Bill) Teerlinck and I decided today I wanted to be all in for Virginia Tech. What they're building is something special and I wanted to be a part of it."

"I have a good relationship with the coaches and they run a 4-3 defense and the defensive line coaches believe I'll fit in well there. Both of the defensive line coaches have experience in the NFL and I have a relationship with Coach (Darryl) Tapp and Coach Teerlinck and Coach (Beau) Davidson. They have just been telling me great things about Virginia Tech and how I could make an impact right away, so our relationship at this stage is great."

"The defense they run is a 4-3, so the coaches told me that I could play either the nose (tackle) or 3-technique, so with me playing both I have a great chance to come in and play right away. With the weapons they have on offense and with the weapons coming in the 2021 class, we're gonna score and get stops on the defensive side of the ball."
