Virginia Tech was one of three ACC stops last week for Old Mill (Millersville, MD) standout athlete Josh Furman , who also visited Duke and North Carolina. The 6-1 1/2, 195-pound junior had never visited Virginia Tech before, but he did have some interest in the program prior to last week’s experience.

“I’ve always liked Virginia Tech,” Furman began. “In my room, I have a Michael Vick jersey hanging up on my wall. The visit actually surprised me when I learned how they are going to get new facilities. The visit blew me away, actually. I’ve visited other places like LSU, West Virginia, Maryland and Pitt. I really liked Virginia Tech.”

The Tech coaches, led by primary recruiter Kevin Sherman, were part of the reason why Furman enjoyed his time in Blacksburg.

“I had a good vibe with them,” Furman said. “They were all just really honest. Of course, you wouldn’t want any coach lying to you. Coach Beamer also is a really nice guy.”
