One of Virginia Tech’s top remaining 2010 class targets made his college choice earlier this evening. The news is very good for the Hokies and especially Bryan Stinespring, who adds a big-time offensive tackle prospect to his offense.

Laurence Gibson , a 6-6, 300-pound prospect out of Hargrave Military Academy, informed Stinespring and head coach Frank Beamer of his plans earlier this evening.

“I’m a Hokie,” Gibson wrote via text message earlier this evening. When reached by phone for further comment, he said, “I told Coach Beamer first. He was right there beside Coach Stinespring. Both of them were really happy. They said they were going to celebrate and take their wives out to dinner.”

Gibson made official visits to Boston College, Clemson and Virginia Tech before arriving at this decision. He also made an unofficial visit to Auburn, which had also offered a scholarship. He has informed coaches at these and all other interested schools of his decision and he does not plan to turn back.
