On Monday night, Liberty (Bealeton, VA) offensive tackle Kory Gough and his parents met with Eagles head coach Tommy Buzzo to discuss what would happen if Virginia Tech decided to offer a scholarship – the Tech staff had a meeting scheduled for yesterday and Gough was one of the prospects to be discussed. A Virginia Tech fan growing up, Gough knew what he would do if an offer came his way.

“We talked about it and told Coach Buzzo how much I liked Virginia Tech. If they offered, that is where I wanted to go. I got the call and that’s where I’m going,” Gough said. “I’ve got a lot of family that has been there, so I know quite a bit about it. In the back of my mind, Virginia Tech was the school I really wanted to go to. When I got the chance, I showed everybody. I committed right away.”

Early yesterday, primary recruiter Torrian Gray called Coach Buzzo to let him know that they would be extending the offer. They set up a time for when Gough would speak with Coach Beamer and, at that time, commit.

“Coach Beamer told me he was real excited about this. That was a great feeling,” Gough said.
