Virginia Tech's first Class of 2021 commitment is in! Baltimore St. Frances linebacker Aaron Willis has committed to VT.
The 5-11, 200-pound Willis is considered one of the top linebackers nationally in the 2021 class. He plays at a powerhouse program that regularly sends a half-dozen players or more to the Power-5 level in each class. Despite that - and its proximity to VT - the Hokis have had trouble reeling in players from St. Frances.
Willis has visited Blacksburg multiple times in the past, but a decision coming this early is certainly something of a surprise. It's a welcome one nonetheless.
Willis is the first player in the class, and indeed makes Virginia Tech one of just five schools with a pledge in the 2021 group, putting them in a multi-way tie for first nationally in the team recruiting rankings (though BYU, Miami, and USC all have multiple pledges, which should bump them ahead).
