Virginia Tech scored a big commitment last night shortly before the start of the Maryland game. Brookville (VA) High School standout Logan Thomas made his much anticipated pledge to the Hokies, giving Tech a verbal from one of the top players in the state as well as the nation.

Thomas is a 6-6, 225-lbs athlete who plays quarterback for the Brookville Bees. He chose the Hokies over four other finalists: Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia and Wake Forest. He also had offers from schools such as Clemson, Penn State and Tennessee.

According to TSL recruiting analyst Chris Horne, Thomas is being recruited to play wide receiver at Virginia Tech. He is TechSideline.com's #4 player in the state of Virginia.

Thomas is highly thought of by Rivals.com as well. Rivals lists him as a 5-star player, the #1 tight end recruit in the nation, and the #26 overall prospect in the nation. He is a huge pickup for Virginia Tech's 2009 recruiting class.

Whatever position he plays for the Hokies, he is certainly a talented prospect.

"He has the best hands I've ever seen," Brookville head coach Jeff Woody said in an interview with Chris Horne.

Thomas is the second national top 50 player to commit to Virginia Tech in this recruiting class. GW-Danville tailback David Wilson verballed back in July. He is listed as the #6 running back in the nation by Rivals, as well as the #45 overall prospect. Despite their struggles on offense this year, the Hokies are still landing some highly-touted offensive players.

Darren Evans made history on Thursday night, breaking Mike Imoh's single game rushing record at Virginia Tech. Evans ran for 253 yards in Tech's win, surpassing Imoh's record by 10 yards. He got the record on his final carry of the game, a 29 yard run. Imoh's record had stood since the 2004 North Carolina game.

This is the third time the Tech single game rushing record has been broken since the 2003 season.

Kevin Jones did it at Pittsburgh in 2003, running for 241 yards on 30 carries. He scored all four of Tech's touchdowns in their narrow 31-28 loss to the Panthers that night. It seemed like a record that would stand for quite some time, but Mike Imoh broke it the very next season at North Carolina.

Jones and Imoh were both juniors when they set the record. However, Evans is just a r-freshman. Not only did he set the record, but it was the first 100 yard rushing game of his career as well. No Virginia Tech tailback has rushed for over 100 yards in a game since Branden Ore did it in the Orange Bowl.

Perhaps the most impressive part of Evans' performance was how strong he ran in the fourth quarter. He had 12 carries for 87 yards in the fourth quarter, including seven carries for 77 yards on Tech's final drive.

The Hokies needed to chew up the final 5:38 off the clock, and they repeatedly handed the ball to Evans, who just kept picking up first downs. He had runs of 20, 9, 12 and 29 yards on the final drive. His final run of the game was the 29 yarder, which gave him the Tech record.

Not only was Evans running fast, but he was running through the tackles of a demoralized Maryland defense. On one of his carries in the final drive, he absolutely decleated Maryland free safety Terrell Skinner, who is listed at 6-3, 214. Evans is listed at 6-0, 210.

Not only was it a big night for Evans, but it should serve as a big shot in the arm for the Virginia Tech offense as well. The Hokies were expected to be able to line up and run the football effectively this year. That hasn't happened consistently, but it certainly did last night. Though Maryland's defensive line was a step or two down in talent from UNC, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Boston College, it still has to feel good for the Tech offensive line to impose their will like they did on Thursday.
