Ken Ekanem

Moments ago, the Virginia Tech Hokies watched as Centreville, Va. defensive end chose Virginia Tech.

He made the announcement around 9 a.m. at his high school.

Ekanem is the No. 8 player in the state of Virginia and No. 15 defensive end by Rivals.com.

At 6’3 226 pounds, Ekanem will be part of an already very deep defensive line for the Hokies.

Rivals.com does not list who was the lead recruiter.

Stay tuned on Twitter (@MattJonesCT) and here on the blog for continued coverage of National Signing Day.
