Painter picks Va. Tech

Published on: 12/13/07

Vinston Painter, a guard for Maury High in Norfolk, Va., has committed to Virginia Tech.

Considered the fifth-best offensive guard in the nation by Scout.com, Painter chose the Hokies over Florida, Georgia, Miami and Penn State.

“I like just about everything at Virginia Tech,” Painter said. “They had a great season this year. It’s a great school with a great coaching staff.”

Painter admitted that playing football in his home state played into his commitment.

“I wouldn’t say it was a major reason I committed to Virginia Tech, but it did factor into my decision,” he said.

Painter had nothing negative to say about Georgia.

“I just decided to narrow it down and go from there,” he said.

UGA should offer Trevino Woods a golf scholarship.
