After signing Jalen Holston and Terius Wheatley in the 2017 class and no running backs in the 2016 class, the Hokies are looking to bring in at least a pair of running backs in the 2018 class. Virginia Tech also is making the state of North Carolina a high priority on the recruiting trail in 2018 with VT launching the #NC2VT as they look to bring a large group of 2018 recruits from the Tar Heel State.
The good news is that the Hokies are in good shape for a top RB target out of North Carolina.

Three-star RB Marcus Caldwell released his top 5 which included Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Louisville, North Carolina, and Purdue with Caldwell telling us that he plans to visit his whole top 5 this summer. Caldwell currently has 7 offers from his top 5 plus ECU and Charlotte though the lower number of offers may be in part due to the fact that Caldwell already has a strong group at the top that other schools don't believe they can get into.
Caldwell also gave us a few reasons why each school in his top 5 made the cut.
- Virginia Tech: "Tradition and culture"
- Tennessee: "Tradition, History"
- North Carolina: In-state, staff, academics
- Louisville: "Staff"
- Purdue: "Coaching staff"
