One of Cheyton Pine’s childhood favorites came through with a scholarship offer this past Wednesday morning.

“Coach Cornell Brown told me about it,” the Lafayette (Williamsburg, VA) rising senior said, recalling how he learned he had a scholarship offer from Virginia Tech. “He told me how excited he was. He said they had a staff meeting and Coach Beamer and Coach Foster extended the offer to me. He was the relay man. Getting an offer from those three is a big accomplishment, especially coming from a legend like Coach Beamer. Cornell Brown played there, which is something that’s awesome.”

Pine, a 6’3”, 218-pound outside linebacker prospect, is optimistic about his chances of landing an offer from his other childhood favorite next weekend.

“I honestly think when I go [to Notre Dame] next Saturday, if I do a good job they will offer,” said Pine, who will participate in a camp next weekend in South Bend.
