Battle Set to Make Official Visit to VT

His high school football career finished, Southern Nash High School (N.C.) standout defensive line prospect Kwamaine Battle is now focused on the next step – getting to Virginia Tech. The 6-1 1/2, 260-pound prospect plans to enroll at Virginia Tech next summer, but he is looking forward to his return trip this weekend for an official visit.

He leaves for Blacksburg later today.

“I’m feeling very happy about my decision,” said Battle, who committed to Virginia Tech in July earlier this year. “I’m excited about my official visit. I went to a couple of games this season. People were jumping up and down. I was thinking yeah, I’m ready to play in that. I went to the Georgia Tech game and the Virginia game. The fans are out there supporting the team no matter who they play.”

Battle, who is being recruited by Virginia Tech as a defensive tackle, likes what he sees out of Virginia Tech’s defense.
