Mansoor Delane is a Hokie!

Commitment No. 21 is in for Virginia Tech, and it's an important one. Severn (Md.) Archbishop Spalding cornerback Mansoor Delane has picked the Hokies.

The 6-1, 175-pounder is a three-star ranked the No. 17 rising senior in the state of Maryland.

Delane picks the Hokies over several other options, but home-state Maryland was the other finalist. Delane visited both Maryland and Virginia Tech for official visits in June, and returned to Blacksburg for the Hard Hat Hunt during the brief July visit window. That trip - along with a souring over time on the Terps - sealed his decision, and today he became a future Hokie.

His team played just two games last Fall due to the abbreviated coronavirus season, but he made six tackles, including one for loss, in that short stint on the field. A 5.6 "middle" three-star, he has the opportunity to move up significantly if he plays to the level the Hokies' staff believes he can.

With his pledge, the Hokies' group rises to No. 17 in the nation.
