Virginia Tech made some more noise in the transfer portal on Boxing Day as they landed a commitment from Sam Houston DB Isaiah Cash over fellow finalists Houston and USC plus interest from Ole Miss, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, and others. Cash will be able to immediately come in and compete for a starting safety job while also potentially taking on a large role at the nickel position.
So why did Cash choose the Hokies over his other options? Here's what he had to say.
"Having a position coach at VT who’s been in the NFL and knows what it takes to get there was a huge factor for me. In my opinion, their schedule is competitive especially starting out with two SEC schools. Their tradition and fan base create an environment where I know I’d be challenged and could grow," Cash said.
As you can tell from his initial remarks, Cash's relationship with safeties coach Pierson Prioleau played a big role in his decision to choose the Hokies. He expanded on how important his relationships with Prioleau and the other coaches were in his decision to choose VT.
