Virginia Tech's staff first started pursuing Manheim Central (Manheim, PA) place-kicker Justin Myer "about a "month and a half ago" according to Manheim Central head coach Mike Williams. The 6-1, 190-pound senior accepted a recruited walk-on spot with the Hokies in early January, choosing Tech over a scholarship offer from Division 1A Temple as well as Maine, William & Mary and others.
"He is absolutely going to Virginia Tech. There is no question about it. You couldn't change his mind in 100 years, I'm sure of that," Williams said of Myer, who served as Manheim Central's place-kicker each of the past two seasons. "He will be a preferred walk-on. If he wins the kick-off job, he'll be on scholarship in January."
