Virginia Tech went outside of its traditional footprint to land Dalton Keene, the newest member of the Hokies' 2017 recruiting class. The Littleton, Colorado product's verbal commitment went public on Monday morning and was reported by Evan Watkins of 247Sports.

Proud to announce my commitment to Virginia Tech!," Keene tweeted. "I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me get this far, but we're not done yet!"

The 6-5, 220 pound prospect is rated at 3-star recruit by the 247Sports Composite, although 247Sports pegs Keene as a 4-star. In addition to Virginia Tech, Keene had Power 5 offers from Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Syracuse, and Iowa State. He plays all over the field β€” running back, tight end/H-Back, linebacker, defensive end β€” for Chatfield HS.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"
