Royal Returns from VT

Westfield (Chantilly, VA) star Eddie Royal returned today from his official visit to Virginia Tech. Royal enjoyed his visit this weekend but did not commit to the Hokies and plans on making his official visit to Marshall next weekend before announcing a decision.

“It was pretty good,” Royal said of his Tech visit. “I had a lot of fun. Everyone was fun and upbeat, and there was a lot of energy there. You can tell everybody cared about one another. If you saw one football player, you knew the rest wouldn’t be far behind. That was pretty neat, and I liked that.”

The 5-10, 170 pound wide receiver was hosted by red-shirt freshman quarterback Marcus Vick. He had met Vick once previously, but never had the chance to get to know him before this weekend.

“I had met him at a practice, but I haven’t talked to him since,” Royal said. “He’s a real cool guy. He’s actually a pretty laid back guy…real down to earth. Everybody was laid back there. There wasn’t a lot of drama, which was good.”
