Mark Shuman Talks Recruiting

Fork Union Prep (Fork Union, VA) offensive tackle Mark Shuman does not appear close to making a verbal commitment, and the 6-6, 270-pound junior plans to take his time in the recruiting process. Shuman, who has 16 official offers including Georgia, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech, among others, admits to having a favorite but isn’t ruling anyone out just yet.

“I think I’ll probably wait a little bit longer, into the summer and maybe into the season,” Shuman said. His father, FUMA postgraduate head coach John Shuman, indicated last week that he wouldn’t be surprised to see his son make a commitment soon. “I’ll see how many more looks I get or if anyone jumps in late.”

Virginia Tech is the favorite in this race.

“Tech’s the favorite right now just because I’ve been around there a lot,” Shuman said. “It’s a great place. I love it there.”
