In search of another tight end in its 2011 class, Virginia Tech has scored a good one in Ryan Malleck , a 6-5, 235-pound prospect out of Point Pleasant Boro High School (Point Pleasant Boro, N.J.). Malleck, rated a 3-star prospect by ESPN.com, Rivals.com, and Scout.com, committed to the Hokies this afternoon over offers from Maryland, Miami, N.C. State, Rutgers, Vanderbilt and Virginia, among others.
Committed to Maryland since last August, Malleck reopened his recruiting when Ralph Friedgen was let go. In the end, Virginia Tech would be the choice over the Terrapins and another ACC foe.
