Northside (Roanoke, VA) tight end Dakota Jackson 's wait for an FBS scholarship offer came to an end on Monday of this week, when Virginia Tech came through for the 6-4 junior. An impressive offseason helped Jackson, who is also drawing interest from Connecticut, Duke, Maryland and UVa.
Jackson performed well at the Virginia Tech and Virginia one-day camps last summer, but size was an issue with both programs. The Vikings star showed off a new physique, though, at Tech's February 26 junior day.
