St. Petersburg, FL – Virginia Tech has picked up a commitment from Top247 defensive tackle Tim Settle (Manassas, VA/Stonewall Jackson). The nation’s 78th best prospect per 247Sports Composite rankings, chose Virginia Tech over his other finalists USC and Oklahoma State.

Settle made his college commitment live at the Under Armour All-American Game.

While Settle will have some work to do in the classroom to qualify, he feels confident that he can make the scores he needs by the summer to enroll at Virginia Tech.

“If I don’t qualify during the year, I will qualify before I go in the summer,” Settle told 247Sports’ Sean Fitz on Sunday.

Settle is the 11th best defensive tackle nationally and the third ranked prospect in the state of Virginia for the 2015 class. He is the highest ranked prospect on the Virginia Tech 2015 Commit list.

Settle was recruited by Torrian Gray and Charley Wiles.
