6-6, 290-pound defensive tackle/offensive lineman Nick Becton returned to Blacksburg on Saturday to catch Virginia Tech’s home game versus Miami. It was Becton’s second visit to Blacksburg and, just as he did with the first, he came away impressed with what he experienced.

The New Hanover (Wilmington, N.C.) star made the trip with his parents. They traveled up on Saturday morning and returned on Sunday.

“When I got there, they had a buffet kind of thing laid out,” Becton recalled from Saturday’s experience. “I talked with Coach Wiles after that and a couple of other coaches. Coach Wiles was talking about me playing on the defensive line. The offensive guys said they want me to play on the offensive line.

“After the game, they let recruits come to the locker room to hear what the coaches had to say. I talked with Coach Wiles a little bit more after that. Then I went back with my parents to our hotel.”
