It Been A Great Recruiting Process, I Enjoyed Every Second Of It. I'm Proud To Say I'm A Hokie— Eric Whitehead Jr. (@bms_whitehead) May 3, 2014
Eric had originally planned to commit on May 30th, but accelerated his timeline. I spoke with him a few minutes ago, asked him why he sped up the process, and he told me, "When I first got the offer I really wanted to commit then, but decided to wait. ... I always wanted to go to Virginia Tech, so it was never a question".
Eric still plans to visit Blacksburg next week.
He gave me the details on how his commitment went down. "I called all the coaches this morning and told them. Tomorrow is Coach Wiles' birthday, so I really wanted to give him a present. I called all the other coaches first, then I called him and told him. He was really hype about it and said, 'Thank you for the birthday gift.'"
One of Eric's Lawrence Central teammates is linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr., who also holds a Tech offer and is high on the Hokies. Kirkland announced his top-10 on Thursday, and Virginia Tech was in the mix.
If you want more background information on Eric, I spoke with him at the end of March after he received his scholarship offer from Tech.
Welcome to HokieNation, Eric!
