Myrtle Beach (S.C.) linebacker Bruce Taylor has been committed to Virginia Tech since September of his junior season. It has been a long road for the 4-star prospect since then, so he is certainly glad that he will finally make his decision official in less than two weeks.

“It has been a bunch of different stuff to go through since I committed,” said Taylor, who plans to sign a letter of intent with the Hokies on February 6th. “Some people recruited me harder since I told them I committed and some backed off. I still think I made the right decision to commit when I did. It was easier for me to play having made the decision than it would have been if I hadn’t have made it.”

After an injury-riddled junior season, Taylor racked up 188 tackles including 29 tackles-for-loss in his senior year. The first-team all-state performer played the entire year without injury, helping Myrtle Beach to an undefeated regular season and its first victory over rival Conway since 1994. He also earned a spot in the prestigious NC/SC Shrine Bowl.

A star linebacker in high school, Taylor acknowledges the possibility of moving to defensive end in college.
