Guys, I spoke earlier with probably the next big local product here in the NRV to keep an eye on, Blacksburg (Va.) 2018 RB/safety Cole Beck. He's obviously been to VT a ton through the years and was also on hand at the Ohio State game last week.

Beck doesn't have any offers yet, but camped a lot this summer to get noticed. He was at VT, Virginia, South Carolina, James Madison and Towson. And he's also gotten interest from West Virginia, NC State, Clemson and Marshall.

Beck said he loved the Ohio State game and said "it was just wild." Offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler has been the one recruiting Beck and told him to keep working and that the staff would be watching.

Originally, Beck is from Bluefield, but moved to Blacksburg about five or six years ago. This year, he's averaging 4.9 yards a carry as a running back. He's also a kick returner and last season, had 74 tackles at safety. Also important to note is his speed. His father said Beck ran a 4.43 handimed 40-yard dash at West Virginia this summer at camp. Beck competed in the New Balance Nationals earlier this year, where he placed third in the 100m dash.

VERY early here, but this is the kid in the backyard for VT to keep an eye on. He's not set on the Hokies and will look around, but we're talking about a likely three-star kid who depending on how he grows and matures could be even more.
