"10. Brent Benedict, OG, Virginia Tech (from Georgia) – The Hokies’ biggest weakness in 2012 is the offensive line. Gone are four starters, including All-ACC selections in Blake DeChristopher and guard Jaymes Brooks. Benedict ranked among the top 150 prospects coming out of high school by most recruiting services, but suffered a significant knee injury in his senior year. He redshirted during his only season at Georgia and all signs point to a return to full strength in 2012. Benedict is expected to start at right guard this year and provided he can stay healthy, this should turn out to be a huge addition for the Hokies. "

@ESPN_ACC: Can't tell you how much I enjoy talking to offensive linemen. Will Jackson just gave me a great quote about VT QB Logan Thomas. Compliment!
@ESPN_ACC: GT OL Jackson on LT: "Shoot, they've got like a 7-ft QB who runs like a deer. That's kind of a scary thought. I don't know he needs an OL."

@Recruit757: We have a big story coming out this afternoon.... UVA and Tech fans have been going at each other on message boards about players coming out of The 757. We'll have a look at The 757 Sports Academy and the influence that outside coaches have on the development of local players. Check recruit757.com this afternoon for the latest....
This is the original tweet, that text came from the facebook link in the tweet, figured I would save some time and paste it in here for you all.

Wonder if he has a dog in the fight. Most people in VA at least prefer one school over the other. Maybe not...not familiar with him but guess I'm about to be.
