Hokies, Hoos In First for Virginia Offensive Lineman

Both in-state programs have put in offers, but Massaponax (Va.) 2019 offensive tackle Donavan Beaver (6-6, 260) isn’t getting into his recruitment fully just yet.

Virginia Tech and Virginia were first to offer, with the Hokies’ offer coming earlier this year. Beaver has an idea of what he’s searching for in a college home, and he’s seen both offering schools in person. His focus, though, is on the task at hand over his next two high school seasons.

“I like college towns, I don’t like to be in the city,” Beaver said. “I like it to be more quiet, and I like the outdoors a lot. I like schools that have that aspect.
