Virginia Tech has landed commitment #11 for the 2006 recruiting class. Doug “Budd” Thacker, a 6-2, 250-pound defensive tackle prospect out of Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida, has chosen Virginia Tech over offers from Maryland, Mississippi State, Wake Forest and West Virginia, among others.
“From an e-mail I received from his mother this morning, it looks like Budd has committed to Virginia Tech,” Seminole head coach Mick Harris said.
