Former Hylton (Woodbridge, VA) standout tight end Eric Martin will arrive at Virginia Tech later this month, just under a year after signing a letter of intent with the Hokies. Martin signed a letter of intent last February and grey-shirted, so the long road to Blacksburg is almost complete.
"I leave for Tech on the 17th [of January]," said Martin, who knows he'll be joined by fellow northern Virginia standout and 2008 Tech signee Ben Barber. Barber, a wide receiver/defensive back, also grey-shirted.
