Doug Nester’s on-again off-again visit plans for the weekend ended up on-again, and it’s paying off for Virginia Tech. The Ohio State offensive line commit seems like an extremely serious option for VT right now.
In fact, sources close to Nester indicate that the murky nature of the visit might have been more about not needing to see VT again (because he’d already formed his extremely high opinion of the program) rather than it being outside the realistic options in his recruitment.
New QB commit Knox Kadum has been in his ear this weekend, and that certainly hasn’t hurt (though again, may not have been necessary all along).
He’d be the highest-ranked member of the class and a surefire anchor in what is already a pretty good offensive line group.
Distance to home - Columbus and Blacksburg are about equidistant, while Penn State (which may otherwise have won out) is farther away - has been a factor in the Hokies’ favor. He’s spoken to those in his inner circle and has indicated that it may ultimately be one of the factors that indeed results in a commitment to Virginia Tech.
An announcement timeline hasn’t been decided upon, but all indications as things stand today are that whenever the choice is, VT is the current favorite.
