The Virginia Tech Hokies offered 2018 running back Cole Beck a scholarship on Saturday night (finally). It is the 28th offer for the local 3-star running back from Blacksburg High School.
At 6’1″, 185 lbs., Beck holds good size at his position to go along with his blazing speed. Beck has been clocked at around a 4.3 time for his 40-yard dash and appears to play even faster than that on film.
For the Hokies, this has been a strange situation to follow. The team has seemingly struggled almost every year at running back since David Wilson departed following the 2011-12 season, so one would have thought Beck’s offer would have come much earlier than it did, especially considering he plays high school ball about four miles from Lane Stadium.
