Former three-star offensive tackle Roseby Lubintus announced his commitment to the Hokies Thursday morning.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pound offensive lineman officially committed to Penn State on April 25. However, he took a different route than most of the former Penn State pledges.

He's the No. 768 player in the country, No. 67 offensive tackle in the country and No. 14 player in New Jersey, according to 247Sports composite.
Additionally, Marlen Bright flipped his commitment from Penn State to Virginia Tech just hours after Lubintus committed.
Bright committed to Penn State on July 5, but started looking elsewhere after Franklin's firing. He visited Washington and Virginia Tech before committing to Virginia Tech just five days after his visit with the Hokies.

Penn State has lost three players in the last two days from New Jersey, while Bright and Lubintus are the second and third players to commit to Virginia Tech as former Penn State commits, joining running back Messiah Mickens.
