At 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds, Class of 2019 offensive guard Donovan Beaver is no slouch. Still, size was something Beaver noticed last weekend when he took in his first college game as a recruit.

Beaver, a junior at Massaponax High School in Fredericksburg , was on hand Saturday for Virginia Tech’s win over Delaware. Now with offers from the Hokies, Virginia and Maryland, he’s gotten a good idea of what to expect. But Virginia Tech’s collective size jumped out in a big way to Beaver when he was on the sideline in Lane Stadium.

“I like Virginia Tech, but they’re really big,” he said. “The players are big and they’re all just really big. I’m big, but I’m not big like that. It just really stood out, how massive they are. I felt tiny. I don’t really get intimidated, but it’s one of those things, I ask myself, ‘Am I good enough for that?’ That’s a different caliber.”

The visit marked Beaver’s third time at Virginia Tech. He also visited in January for the Hokies’ junior day and in June for one of their camps.
