final four schools which included Virginia Tech, Michigan, Georgia, and Alabama. Today, Pinckney revealed his plans for making his collegiate commitment.

Pinckney will announce his college choice tomorrow with the Hokies being the favorites. In addition, I am standing by my current prediction of
Pinckney to Virginia Tech.
Pinckney has been one of VT's top offensive targets for almost a year now and VT has been consistently right at the top of his list. Pinckney would continue to help the Hokies add more size to their receiving corps while also giving VT a nationally recognized playmaker who will also be participating in The Opening at the Dallas Cowboys' facilities later this summer.
The Hokies have put together an impressive June for the second-straight year with five commits this month including four-star in-state recruits
Cam'Ron Kelly and
Jaden Payoute. The Hokies have also had lots of success this month recruiting what could be a future starting WR corps with Payoute and
Tayvion Robinson committing and Pinckney possibly joining those two tomorrow.
VT is putting together another strong June on the recruiting trail and Jacoby Pinckney may be next for the Hokies tomorrow.
