Virginia Tech’s recent recruiting roll continued today, when Coach Frank Beamer and company picked up a pledge from Pulaski County (Dublin, VA) star linebacker Tahrick Peak . The 6-3, 205-pound Peak becomes the fourth rising high school senior to commit to Tech’s 2010 recruiting class. He is the third prospect to commit to Tech within the past two weeks.

Peak chose Virginia Tech over an offer from Marshall and heavy interest from the University of Virginia.

“He committed this morning,” Pulaski head coach Jack Turner said. “I’m sure more schools would’ve offered, but Virginia Tech is such a natural fit for him. His family is only 20 minutes away. His brother is going there. His family has been Tech followers for years.”
