Linebacker Laiti reportedly commits to Tech

Mark Bendorf, the football coach at Robinson High School in Fairfax, reports that 6-4, 215-pound linebacker Brian Laiti (pronounced Light-tee) has committed to Virginia Tech.

The Hokies also have received a commitment from Detrick Bonner, a 6-foot, 170-pound wide receiver and defensive back from Luella (Ga.) High School, where he had 21 receptions for 500 yards as a junior, when he also had four interceptions.

Bonner, who said in a phone interview that he does not have a preference between offense and defense, said he had offers from Michigan, Mississippi State, Toledo, Central Florida and Louisville. He committed to Tech two days after getting an offer.

Bendorf said that Laiti’s final choice came down to Tech, Maryland, Boston College, West Virginia and Syracuse, if there had to be a fifth choice. Laiti, youngest of four brothers to play for Robinson, had 147 tackles as a senior. He was rated the No. 15 junior in Virginia by The Roanoke Times.
