Springfield South (OH) offensive linemen Lee Tilley made a run of unofficial visits over the past week. The 6-5, 320-pound prospect made visits to Auburn, then Florida and Georgia, then Clemson and finished with Virginia Tech on July 27th. What did he think of the Tech experience?

“When I first got there, it was late at night and the hotel we stayed at is in a part of town that they don’t send recruits to,” Tilley said. “The hotel sign was punched and it looked like no one was there. I was thinking that there was no way I would go there if it was like what I saw that first night. I stayed around and the next day I had a chance to tour the campus. I saw the city area and was shown places to go and I was like this is really nice.

“I liked [Virginia Tech] a lot. The facilities were just as nice as the other schools. They sold me on their program. They win a lot and they are one of the top teams in the country. That’s why I stayed around to look.”

Tilley enjoyed meeting with Virginia Tech offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Bryan Stinespring.
