Tim Sullivan is the Editor of HokieHaven.com. A University of Michigan alumnus, he is a decade-plus veteran of the recruiting industry.

Just a day after picking up his offer from Virginia Tech, Orlando (Fla.) Dr. Phillips athlete Braxton Clark has accepted it.

The 6-3, 188-pounder is unranked at his position or within the state. However, Dr. Phillips is a power program, and the Hokies would like every connection they can get with the team. Clark joins 2017 signee Robert Porcher IV as future members of the Maroon and Orange.

As a junior, Clark made seven total tackles for Dr. Phillips, picked off two passes (one of which he returned 99 yards for a touchdown), and broke up two more passing attempts. He is Virginia Tech's eighth commitment of the 2018 cycle, and could be joined by the ninth as soon as tomorrow.
