Hokie High: Oakton's Garner Commits To Tech


VIENNA, VA - Oakton's Ervin Garner committed to play football at Virginia Tech starting this fall today, making him the 2nd Cougar receiver to head to an ACC football program in 2007. Garner, who starred at wide receiver for the Cougars, will most likely see time as a return specialist and receiver at Virginia Tech.

Oakton will hold a small signing ceremony on Friday June 29th at 9am with members of the media invited to attend.

In the 2006 football season, Garner racked up big numbers and plenty of big plays. He scored on a 99 yard kickoff return against Centreville and then added a 98 yard kickoff return touchdown against Herndon. His clutch touchdown catches helped lead Oakton to the Division 6 playoffs. In his career, Garner caught 79 passes for 1,091 yards and 8 touchdowns.

Garner recently participated in the Northern Region Classic, helping the West team to a 28-11 victory.
