Kecoughtan (Hampton, VA) linebacker Jerod Mayo returned from his fifth and final official visit today, which was to Virginia Tech. The visit exceeded what his expectations were heading into the weekend.

“It was real nice,” Mayo said. “It wasn’t what I expected. I didn’t expect Virginia Tech to be as much fun as it was. I mean, I visited there during the summer time, but I didn’t get a chance to experience the whole atmosphere. I thought it would be just Blacksburg and the College, but there was actually a lot more to do there. And I know a lot of guys who are from this area that go there. I knew a lot of people there.”

Mayo will now take the week to narrow his list of schools to three. He will make a decision among the final three, possibly by the day before Signing Day.

“After this week, I’ll be down to three,” Mayo said. “I’ll probably have a decision either the following Tuesday or the following Wednesday. I was going to have a press conference, but I don’t feel like I’ll even deal with that. I’ll just tell the coaches of my choice.”
