Doug “Budd” Thacker, a 6-2 ½, 250-pound defensive lineman/offensive guard out of Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida, will make an unofficial visit to Virginia Tech today and tomorrow. The name may sound familiar to Hokie fans, as Thacker’s father, who is also named Doug, played for Virginia Tech in the 1970s.
Budd does not yet have an offer from Virginia Tech, but has been in contact with the staff.
