Goins Considers Options

Manchester (Midlothian, VA) offensive lineman Jake Goins remains undecided as to when he will enroll at Virginia Tech. At the Virginia game, he received some advice from a 2010 class prospect that faced the same decision.

“I was talking to [Caleb Farris], who had the same option last year,” Goins said. Farris will enroll next month. “He liked it a lot because he had more time to lift and be ready and still have five years left. He said he thought [grey-shirting] was better. The coaches have told me to get stronger. Really, it’s a strength thing. I’ll talk to them again as the summer gets closer and see what they feel I should do.

“I’m cool with either one. Whichever one can help me get in there and play the fastest.”

The 6-5, 285-pound senior only attended the one regular season game in 2010, but he certainly enjoyed the experience.
