Mark Shuman had planned to wait until Saturday before telling Virginia Tech's coaches that he was accepting their scholarship offer, but, with the news of his decision already out, he decided to expedite things. Earlier this evening, Shuman, a 6-7, 285-pound offensive tackle prospect out of Fork Union Military Academy (VA), pledged to the Tech coaching staff.
"I called tonight about 6:45 and talked to Coach Cav, Coach Newsome and Coach Beamer. I told them I was committing," Shuman said.
