The main purpose of Nigel Williams ' July 9 visit to Blacksburg was to spend some time with Virginia Tech's players. As it turns out, that day was just what the 6'3", 260-pound Benedictine (Richmond, VA) rising senior needed to know that Virginia Tech was the school he wanted to attend.
Williams, who made the July 9 trek along with his mother, father, and two younger brothers, left Blacksburg without committing. He returned home, spoke with his parents, and called the coaches the next day. The talented defensive line prospect boasted double-digit FBS offers before going with the Hokies.
