Guys, I just got off the phone a few minutes ago with Asheville (NC) two-star OL Pete Leota, who was on hand over the weekend for VT's spring game. As I've mentioned before, there are others the Hokies have higher on their OL board than Leota, but they're keeping an eye out on him big time.
This was Leota's second visit to VT. He also attended the junior day Feb. 7. But this trip was the first time his dad made the trek to Blacksburg. Leota said they spent a lot of time talking to assistant coach Stacy Searels, who showed them around, including the weight room and the locker room and the facilities.
Leota said he loved the fan support he saw, how even for a spring game and the bad weather, a lot of people starting setting up tailgates early in the morning. He said the coaches, including assistant coach Shane Beamer, his primary recruiter, have been pitching him on the family atmosphere and how they see him being a key piece at right tackle.
In February, Leota put out a top three of VT, Boston College and North Carolina. He said that still stands and that he hopes to make a decision early in the summer. No date has been set, but it sounds like sometime in June.
Leota hasn't been to BC since last fall for a game, but did go to junior days at East Carolina and Wake Forest and was at UNC for the Duke basketball game. No other visits are planned, though he'll likely make a few more before any decision comes.
