Big-Time Prospect Reaches Decision

Fork Union Military Academy (VA) offensive tackle Mark Shuman, one of the state’s top overall prospects in the 2010 class, has made a decision on his college future. The 6-7, 285-pound junior has decided to commit to Virginia Tech and he will do so this weekend.

Shuman has not made it official just yet, but he will do so on Saturday at Tech’s Spring Game.

“Mark’s going to commit. He’ll make it official on Saturday,” said Fork Union postgraduate head coach John Shuman, who is Mark’s father. “Last night, I said we better start calling all the other schools to let them know. They are starting to come in and want to see him face to face. We called other schools and word got out. The Tech coaches know a commitment is coming, but Mark will make it official on Saturday.”

Shuman, who also boasted offers from Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Wake Forest, among others, made the decision this past Sunday.
