At 6-7, 315 pounds, Bertie (Windsor, N.C.) star senior Travis Bond shouldn’t be hard to spot when he attends Virginia Tech’s home football game against Duke this weekend. The offensive tackle/defensive lineman prospect plans to be in Blacksburg on an official visit, which will be his first ever experience at Virginia Tech.

“I know Virginia Tech has got a lot of great players there,” Bond said. “I really want to check out the education there. I want to know the top things they offer education-wise. I’ll check out the coaches. And I want to see if the atmosphere fits me.”

Asked why he chose Virginia Tech as an official visit destination, Bond answered, “They’ve been recruiting me since I was a freshman. They stuck around. I’ve never been there, so I’ll see how it is.”

This official visit will be Bond’s second, as he traveled to the University of Michigan earlier this fall. He will follow the Virginia Tech trip with an official visit to N.C. State next weekend and then an official visit to UNC on the weekend of December 5th-7th. Bond says East Carolina and South Carolina are other schools under consideration.
