Nansemond River (Suffolk, VA) defensive end Dewayne Alford has certainly made his rounds this summer, attending camps at East Carolina, JMU, Marshall, ODU, Virginia, Virginia Tech and William & Mary. The 6-4, 225-pound rising senior was at Virginia Tech on Saturday and performed well. A few days later, he received some good news.
"He did pretty good at the [Virginia Tech] camp. Actually, they offered," Nansemond River head coach Tracey Parker said. "They waited a couple of days and then they offered. It's a grey-shirt. They had seen him all along. They had film and things on him. They knew the name. They liked him, but I'm sure they had other offers already out there and that's why they have to offer the grey-shirt."
