Another former top prospect from the Commonwealth of Virginia announced his return on Sunday as Tennessee’s Cameron Seldon committed to Virginia Tech. Pete Nakos of On3 first reported the news and Tech Sideline confirmed it with the program.

Seldon is from Browns Store, Va., an unincorporated community in Northumberland County on the Northern Neck along the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. He starred at Northumberland High School and was a top-five in-state recruit in the 2023 class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

He was a running back for the last two seasons with the Volunteers but has the versatility to play wide receiver, which Tech Sideline understands is the position he’ll play for the Hokies. In his time at Tennessee, he compiled 224 rushing yards and a touchdown — which came against UTEP in 2024 — on 48 carries (4.7 average) over 19 games. Seldon also returned six kickoffs for 113 yards with a long of 35. He only caught one pass, which went for a loss of two yards.

Seldon was terrific in high school for the Indians. As a senior, he racked up 551 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground to go with 18 catches for 365 yards and five scores. He also had four touchdowns in the return game, three of which came on kickoffs.

A three-sport athlete who also played basketball and ran track, Seldon graduated as a state champion in the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash (twice) and the 4×100-meter relay. 

A number of Power Four schools pursued him out of high school, including Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, NC State, Penn State, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. His transfer portal recruitment was very quiet, however.

Seldon continues the trend of former in-state talents returning to the Commonwealth through the transfer portal — many of whom were highly-rated — and playing for the Hokies. Portsmouth’s Antwaun Powell-Ryland (Florida) started the trend and Highland Springs’ Kelvin Gilliam (Oklahoma) hopped on the train last year. Even Chesapeake’s Sherrod Covil Jr. (Clemson), who announced he’s transferring to Tech on Dec. 18, was a former top-10 recruit. Virginia Beach’s Kemari Copeland (Iowa Western C.C.) and Gloucester’s Kaleb Spencer (Miami) are other examples, too.

Seldon is the 10th transfer portal commitment of the offseason for the Hokies and the third offensive weapon, joining running backs Terion Stewart (Bowling Green) and Marcellous Hawkins (D-II Central Missouri). His addition puts the Hokies at approximately 80 scholarships for the 2025 season.
