First Colonial (Virginia Beach, VA) safety/linebacker prospect Nick Dew eventually made it down to Blacksburg on Saturday. Unfortunately for the 6-2, 200-pound junior, Saturday, a day he had anticipated for months, did not exactly go as planned.

“I have good news and bad news,” Dew began when asked to describe his visit to Virginia Tech. “The bad news is that I had car trouble and I missed the Spring Game. I didn’t get there until 6 or 6:30. The good news is that I got to sit in Coach Beamer’s office in his comfortable chair and chill out for a while. Coach Beamer is legendary. It was an honor to meet with the guy.”

Curt Newsome, who recruits Virginia Beach for the Hokies, was there as Dew pulled up.

“Coach Newsome was waiting for me when I got there,” Dew said. “He took me straight to Coach Beamer’s office. He and Coach Beamer were checking up on me, asking about everything and asking how my grades were. They told me I continue to get bigger. It seemed like they still wanted to make sure I was interested in them. The Hokies are still at the top, but I want to keep my eyes open to other schools.”
