Virginia Tech will host three official visitors this weekend, including one of its top overall targets from the state of Virginia. New Hanover (Wilmington, N.C.) defensive tackle/offensive lineman Nick Becton, Oviedo (FL) defensive lineman Dwight Tucker and Stonewall Jackson (Manassas, VA) 4-star running back Ryan Williams are scheduled to be in Blacksburg over the weekend.
All three are top targets, but Ryan Williams is the big one. Ranked the #2 overall prospect in the state by TechSideline.com, the 5-10, 205-pound Williams is an explosive and elusive back. He suffered through a nagging ankle injury this season, but when healthy he has outstanding potential as a home-run hitter on the college level. In 2007, he rushed for 867 yards and nine touchdowns in just seven games and accumulated over 4,000 yards on the ground in his high school career.
