Virginia Tech lands 3-star safety Braylon Johnson

Highland Springs (Va.) three-star safety Braylon Johnson has announced his commitment to Virginia Tech.

He is the No. 899 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Braylon Johnson is the son of Loren Johnson, who played defensive back for the Hokies in the 1990s and was a four-year starter. He is now the head coach at Highland Springs High, where he has led the team to multiple state championships.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $16k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

The Hokies now have the 38th-ranked class in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking.
