According to FOX Sports / Scout.com reporter Simone Scott, 3-star offensive tackle Brady Taylor committed to Virginia Tech over Kentucky.
#HokieNation— Brady Taylor (@beTaylor56) July 29, 2013
Coach Grimes wanted a 5th offensive lineman in the 2014 class, and he got him. Five offensive linemen in a class is quite a haul, and laying a foundation from within the trenches is the right way to rebuild an offense. Taylor is 6-5, 276 pounds from Columbus, Ohio (Bishop Ready). His highlights are on his Hudl page. We had a bit of a double post (normally when we think a commitment is eminent we have a post prewritten), French's analysis is here.

Yeeehaw!!!
Copying this from the other thread
My reaction is like this right now:
LOL so fitting! God I love Seinfeld
Welcome to Hokie Nation Brady!
Grimes pulling out the magic tricks already!
This is Great news! On a side note, does anyone know when's we can expect the finished Billdozer 2013 trailer? I'm getting antsy
It's coming August 1st I believe
this
Talk about a pleasant surprise! How cool would it be if all these guys actually ended up on the line together? What a story that would make.
Bitchin!
I really don't know what to say, never have I been this excited over an O-Line! Now we just need some awesome HB's to follow them! Way to go Coach Grimes way to go!
Grimey gonna grime.
Road to glory can't be paved without a foundation. Love it
I think this news warrants the use of jcvd
Hope these guys push each other hard, I would love to have an entire O-line with Blake DeChristopher experience when they're seniors
I may be in the minority right now but I would like for 2 or 3 to excel and the others to need an extra year. If we have 5 senior OL one year, the next we will be in a big hole i feel like. I would like some to be sr and some to be jr so we always have some experience on the OL.
I agree, but a lot could happen. I'm sure we will continue to pick up OL in the next five years, not to mention what we have.
I'm betting its staggered and they all won't be starters their senior year.
I must be living in Bizarro World, when VT starts taking OL recruitment seriously
When was the last time fans got this- excited over the offense line?
When Newsome was let go
Well done, sir, well done.
Wait, so you're telling me these guys aren't playing TE in High School?
CONVERT 'EM TO TE!!!!!!!!!! #mindblown
Way to go!this how you build a team,from the inside out.
I'm already expecting an ESPN 30/30 on the new #FabFive that leads Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech to multiple National Championships.
What if I told you.... Virginia Tech found the line to greatness. ESPN presents "30 for 30: #FabFive"
that gave me goose bumps
There it is.
Yeeah baybee!
Loving all the Seinfeld references
ITT: Seinfeld gifs and HELL YEAH WE GOT #FABFIVE, what could be better?
Yes, love it! It's amazing how quickly things started to change once we got rid of Newsome!!
Newsome!
Kinda wish there was a new adjective to go along with 'five'. Like freak 5. Or f*ckin awesome 5.
#Fat5 is making the rounds over on 24/7 (don't think they'd mind me sharing that from behind the paywall...). I thought it was pretty good, for O-Linemen of course. Though the guys themselves may prefer #Big-boned5 or similar, even though it doesn't seem to have the same ring to it.
I'm hoping these guys begin an era of Hokie Hogs for all us 'Skins fans out there.
Fat5 doesn't sound very intimidating. Before we name them we should see how they actually perform together on the field.
After saying that, however, it is my hope we end up calling them The Nasty Boys.
(like this, only 5 of them)
edit:
oh yes please

Well according to Ice Cube, "Today was a good day!"
I'm giddy as a schoolgirl right now. Still. Good gracious, I love Jeff Grimes.
Same here! So excited for the future of our team. Great things are coming!!
So all the 247 guys predicted Kentucky yesterday afternoon in their ever-murky "Crystal Ball." Even VT-insider Evan Watkins.
I like 247 a lot, much better than Rivals....but remember that the next time a Crystal Ball changes for or against VT. Those guys really suck at predictationing.
Yea their crystal ball is a great marketing idea since it gives schmoes like us something to talk about during the long and boring off-season, but in all reality that's all it really is, a marketing gimmick.
Well played 247, well played.
"Crystal Ball" is much more alluring than "Random Internet Jock-Sniffer Guesses At Where 17-Year Old May Go To College."
And a shorter name too.
Jock-sniffing a 17-year old? That sounds illegal...
Wait. I didn't know Sandusky had a TKP account.
17 is too old for Dusky
Someone give Nick a thumbs up for my accidental down vote.
Got your back.
I am just glad I can use the TKP as a gif gold mine for later use...
