Virginia Tech was the first school to offer a scholarship to Thomas Dale (Chester, VA) safety/wide receiver Desmond Frye , who in turn made the trek to Blacksburg for the February 26 junior day. Tech being the first to offer, coupled by the experience in Blacksburg days later, gave the Hokies a leg up with the 6-3, 190-pound wide receiver/safety prospect.
"Them being the first offer did make a difference to me," said Frye, who will join his older sister, Alyssa, as a major college scholarship athlete next year. His sister is a rising sophomore on the College of Charleston's women's basketball team. Also, they have an older sister who has graduated from Old Dominion University.
