Thomas Johnson (Frederick, MD) linebacker Nick Forbes visited Virginia Tech on Monday, arriving at noon to take a tour of the campus, meet the coaches and take in a spring practice. The 6-1, 210-pound junior reflected on the trip and discussed where Virginia Tech now stands in the race for his commitment.
"When I got there, the coaches were in a meeting so I waited about five minutes until they were finished," said Forbes, who attended a Tech football game last fall so he had been to Blacksburg before. "When they were done, Coach Sherman came out and invited me in to meet all the coaches. I was able to shake hands with all of the coaches. After that, a graduate assistant took me around to tour the facilities and the weight room and things like that. I sat down to watch the team's highlight film from last season after the tour. The video was interesting because I really learned a lot about how they did last year. I was starving by then, so I got something to eat on campus and talked more with Coach Sherman.
