The Hokies know that they'll likely need to get him on campus for an official visit in order to have a more serious chance at gaining his commitment. The Hokies do have an interesting connection to Carroll as his brother is former Virginia Tech long snapper Collin Carroll. For a Tech program with a tradition of brothers playing in Blacksburg, it appears to be opening a door for the Hokies to have a shot at a recruit that they wouldn't otherwise have a chance at given that he's from Minnesota. Right now, Notre Dame is the favorite according to the 247 Sports Crystal Ball, but there are plenty of schools involved in his recruitment who could be major contenders. The Hokies are likely the longshots, but their family connection opens the door to have a shot at getting him.
