A day after Virginia Tech landed an oral commitment from quarterback Brenden Motley of Christiansburg, the Hokies lost their other QB pledge when T.J. Millweard of Fort Worth, Texas, switched to Arizona State.
Millweard was an under-the-radar recruit when he picked Tech back in February, but has since become a highly rated prospect. ESPN ranks him the No. 6 quarterback in the country and Rivals.com lists the 6-foot-4, 230-pounder as the No. 23 pro-style QB nationally.
After initially choosing Tech, he received scholarship offers from the Sun Devils and Kansas State and has started getting heavy interest from other Big 12 programs.
The Hokies could still add another quarterback in this class. They've offered a scholarship to Bennie Coney, a 6-2, 210-pounder from Plant City, Fla., who is rated the No. 7 dual-threat QB in the country by Rivals. His high school coach is former Tech running back Wayne Ward, and Coney recently told Rivals that Tech is among his top six schools.
Also Thursday, it was announced that Virginia Tech's 2014 ACC game at Maryland will be played at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, the Ravens' home field.

You're right..

Valleys
The Shenandoah Valley or the Valley of the Sun? You pick.
Tech QB's
Tech is not a great school for QB's... Don't pick tech if you want to make it as a QB in the next level.
not with qb
The QB is the man and thus any team he goes to will work as a stepping stone to the NFL. There have been enough DII QBs to make it in the NFL to prove that. There is no Quarterback U anymore since Miami went under in the 90's. Your point would be better if it were about receivers where the system really matters more. When Tech has had good QBs, they just don't have the playbook to entice a top recruit receiver who may touch the ball 5 times a game. They will always be a run first team with a lot of passing mixed in. Top receivers need pass first schools to show off their talents. But good QBs at many different schools make it in the NFL.
