Virginia Tech has added yet another talented prospect to the defensive line, as Leon Mackey , a 6-4, 275-pound defensive end out of Newark, Delaware, signed with Virginia Tech. Mackey, who is attending Hargrave Military Academy this academic year, chose the Hokies over Florida State, North Carolina and N.C. State.
A talented, versatile lineman, Mackey is being recruited by Virginia Tech as a defensive end but he could potentially play defensive tackle. He is rated a 4-star prospect by Scout.com and a 3-star recruit by Rivals.com. Before deciding on Tech, he took official visits to the aforementioned programs.
