Three-Star OT Walker Culver Commits to Virginia Tech

Vance Vice 1
The Virginia Tech Hokies have had a big recruiting weekend starting with a pair of commitments from SWVA star James Mitchell and four-star JUCO CB Jeremy Webb. Over the weekend, the Hokies hosted an impressive group of official visitors and today, one of those visitors has decided to commit to VT. https://twitter.com/WalkerCulver58/status/942585275586400257 Three-star OT Walker Culver announced that he has committed to Virginia Tech. The three-star offensive tackle is Virginia Tech's 26th 2018 commit and fourth offensive line commit from this class. Walker Culver is regarded as a top 30 offensive tackle by 247 Sports while ESPN has him as the 35th best offensive tackle, 247 Sports has him 42nd among OTs, and Rivals has him 62nd among OTs. Culver is also ranked as a top 16 recruit in Tennessee and high three-star by ESPN, 247 Sports, and the 247 Sports Composite. Culver has a strong offer list as well that includes the following schools:
  • ACC: Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, UNC, UVA
  • SEC: Auburn, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Vanderbilt
  • Big 10: Ohio State, Indiana
  • Pac-12: Colorado
  • AAC: Memphis
Walker Culver decommitted from Colorado 10 days after being offered by Ohio State, and then received an offer from Auburn within the past week. However, the Hokies were rewarded for their steadfastness in pursuing Culver even while he was still committed to Colorado. In the end, Culver's recruitment played out similar to Bryce Watts last year as they were able to get him to decommit and flip to VT. Unlike Watts, the Hokies were also able to hold off some big late offers to get him. This is a big pickup for the Hokies as, like Watts, Culver has been a top target for the Hokies even while he was committed elsewhere for several months. Culver was always around the top of Virginia Tech's offensive line board, and the Hokies have reaped the reward of their months of effort put into his recruitment. Congrats to Walker Culver on his commitment to Virginia Tech.
