Midlothian Standout Set to Visit Tech

Midlothian (VA) offensive lineman Matt Arkema recently visited East Carolina and Maryland and will next visit Virginia Tech. The 6-3 1/2, 290-pound rising senior will be in Blacksburg on June 29th and looks forward to the experience.

“I’m really excited to spend more time with the coaches,” he said. “I’m excited to spend time with them, see the campus and hang out.”

Arkema, who has been offered by all three aforementioned Division 1A programs and by Marshall and Navy as well, reflected on the visits to College Park (MD) and Greenville (N.C.).

“Maryland was good,” Arkema said. “I had a real good time. It was my first time up there. I got to meet all the coaches except for Coach Friedgen because he was on vacation. I toured the facilities, too. I liked the coaching staff a lot. I think they are real good coaches. My recruiter would also be my position coach. I talked with him a lot and we have a good relationship.”
