Expecting to arrive in Blacksburg on July 1st, former Hylton (Woodbridge, VA) star tight end Eric Martin admits he was "pretty upset" to learn that he would have to wait until January of 2009 to enroll at Virginia Tech. The 6-3, 240-pound prospect has gotten over the initial disappointment and has been creative in the way he is using his time.
Martin scored the necessary level on the SAT, but received the test one day too late to gain admission to Virginia Tech on time.
