Tech Offers Varina Duo

Virginia Tech offered a pair of Varina Blue Devils after the senior camp on Saturday. This brings the total number of 2007 class Varina kids offered by the Hokies to three, with the three – Jamar Jackson, Davon Morgan and Bud Tribbey – all being recruited to play on the defensive side of the ball.

TSL caught up with defensive tackle Bud Tribbey , who, along with Jackson, received an offer from Virginia Tech this past Saturday.

“I thought performed great,” Tribbey said of his performance at Tech’s camp. “Every time I go out there, I give 100 percent. I gave 100 percent and I though I did the best I’ve done. After we finished one-on-one drills, the coaches called some recruits over to tell them whether they were 1A-type players or 1-AA. Coach Cavanaugh called me over and said they were going to offer me a scholarship. I was kind of shocked by the offer. I was like, ‘are you serious?’ I didn’t know what to do…I was really excited.”

Tribbey measured in at 6-0, 285 pounds. He posted a 5.0 flat in the 40-yard dash but has posted faster times (in the 4.8s) in previous combines. He is athletic, but that is not his primary strength right now.
