Conte To Decide Between UVa and VT

This week has been a good one for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot (Powhatan, VA) offensive tackle Augie Conte . On Tuesday he received an offer from Virginia Tech, days following an impressive performance at Tech’s July 9 one-day camp. Shortly after, he learned that the University of Virginia was offering as well.

In less than a week’s time, the 6’6″, 270-pound rising senior will have committed to one of those two schools.

“I’m going to go to UVa on Monday and I’ll visit Virginia Tech on Tuesday,” Conte said. “I’m going to come home and decide which one I want to go to.”

Conte named Tech as his favorite prior to the Virginia offer, which “definitely complicated things, but it is pretty exciting because I’ve just grown up around UVa,” said Conte, who attended UVa’s Spring Game earlier this year and camp in June. “My mom graduated from there. My dad is a big fan. It’s just exciting to have an opportunity with UVa and an opportunity with Virginia Tech. My grandpa graduated from Virginia Tech.”
