Virginia Tech's commitment wave keeps on flowing. Orlando (Fla.) Dr. Phillips 2017 defensive end Robert Porcher IV is the latest to become a Hokie.

The 6-3, 250-pound Porcher is the son of former Detroit Lions defensive lineman Robert Porcher III. He is a three-star ranked the No. 20 strongside defensive end nationally - though he'll likely bulk up into an interior lineman in Blacksburg - and the No. 59 senior in the state of Florida.

Porcher set a school record - at a power program in Florida's largest division - with 17 quarterback sacks this season. He totaled 104 tackles and 40 tackles for loss to add to an extremely impressive statline.

He is the 25th member of the Class of 2017, and the fourth to join since Friday afternoon. With his pledge, VT's recruiting class moves up to No. 22 in the nation.
