CARSON, CA – Virginia Tech has picked up their 23rd commitment of the 2015 class with the addition of 247Sports Composite four star quarterback Dwayne Lawson (Tampa, FL/Hillsborough). The 6-foot 5-inch quarterback committed to the Hokies over his other finalists USF and Ole Miss.

Lawson announced his college decision live at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl.

"I decided to play ball at the University of Virgina Tech," Lawson said.

"All the players, they have the same thing in mind, they are hungry and they want to play young. We are on the rise."

A former Miami Hurricanes commit, Lawson decommited from Miami in December. He took an official visit to Virginia Tech in November for the Hokies season ending victory over in-state rival Virginia.

Lawson is the lone quarterback commitment of the 2015 class for the Hokies and is the fourth commitment from the state of Florida, joining East Lake (Tarpon Springs, FL) three star linebacker Carson Lydon, Atlantic Coast (Jacksonville, FL) three star tight end Chris Cunningham and Winter Haven Senior (Winter Haven, FL) three star offensive tackle Mike Arnold.

Lawson is rated as the 254th best overall prospect and as the 10th best pro-style quarterback prospect in the nation according to the industry generated 247Sports Composite. He is also seen as the 36th best prospect in the talent rich state of Florida. Virginia Tech was the favorite to land Lawson, after his decommitment from Miami, based on his 247Sports Crystal Ball which read 83-percent for the Hokies, 11-percent for the UCF Knights and 6-percent for the Florida Gators.
