Riverbend (Fredericksburg, VA) offensive lineman Adam Taraschke will sign a letter of intent with Virginia Tech in February of 2012. The timing of his enrollment is less clear, though the 6’6″, 270-pound prospect feels he’ll likely enroll in Blacksburg in January of 2013.

“The Virginia Tech coaches, they haven’t decided,” Taraschke said of when he’ll enroll at Tech. “They are saying it looks like I’ll be gray-shirting because of the scholarships they’ll need for the skill position guys. I think I’ll probably be gray-shirting.”

Taraschke is all for delayed enrollment if he has to. He would stay in the Fredericksburg area, take courses at a local community college next fall, and of course hit the weight room hard. Taraschke hopes to get to 290 or 300 pounds by the time he enrolls at Tech.

The talented prospect has gained confidence over the course of last summer and into this season. After earning an offer from Virginia Tech after the Hokies’ July 9 camp, Taraschke has continued his good play into the 2011 season.
