Kyle Tucker at the Virginian-Pilot wrote in a June 12 article that the Hokies have offered Granby star linebacker Telvion Clark one of its 12 scholarships for the 2009 recruiting class. Normally, writes Tucker, the Hokies have about 20-25 scholarships to offer each year, but the ’09 class is handcuffed because of the huge ’08 recruiting class (31) and the lack of attrition from the ’07 squad.

Clark is a speedy 6-1, 210 inside linebacker that ran a 4.47 at Virginia Tech’s recent summer camp. The Hokies apparently feel like he is worth of one seven remaining scholarships for the 2009 class and are seeking a commitment from the Granby standout sooner rather than later. For the Hokies, it appears to be a numbers game and they want to know where they stand with their current offers.

Clark’s former head coach Dave Hudak, who retired after last season, believes that the Hokies don’t have anything to worry about by waiting. Clark told Penn State and West Virginia that he would make official visits and Hudak believes the rising senior is merely keeping his word, but Virginia Tech is where his heart is. Time will tell.
