A dream will finally become reality on January 14, the day Caleb Farris moves into his dorm room at Virginia Tech. Farris, an offensive line prospect out of Lexington, Virginia, is just a month away from the beginning of his Virginia Tech career.

“I really can’t put it into words,” Farris said of enrolling at Virginia Tech next month. He’ll begin classes on January 18. “I can’t put it into words. There are just feelings. I’ve used the word surreal before. As a kid, I always wanted to go to Tech and play football. My mom and dad took me there when I was growing up. In little league, I had a Tech jersey. I was ready to go back then. The next chapter of my life is about to begin. It really is a blessing.”

The 6-4, 295-pound prospect pledged to head coach Frank Beamer in April of his junior year at Rockbridge County High School. He signed with Tech in February of 2010, knowing he would not enroll until 11 months later.

This fall, Farris took classes at a community college. He spent a lot of time in the weight room, training at the EDGE workout facility in Roanoke as well.
