Matt Arkema, a 6-foot-3, 280-pound offensive lineman from Midlothian High School, has become the 10th football player to commit to Virginia Tech for 2010.

Recruiting coordinator Jim Cavanaugh was Tech's lead recruiter for Arkema, who is one of seven in-state prospects in Tech's 2010 class so far.

Maryland, Northwestern and Vanderbilt are among seven Division I-A programs that had made scholarship offers to Arkema, according to Rivals.com.

Arkema was rated the No. 26 prospect in the state by Virginia Preps last week.
