Early enrollment is a tool Virginia Tech has used quite frequently when it comes to recruiting. Tech allows gray-shirts and early enrollees, and this year there will be a mix of both.
For those who don't know what "gray-shirt" means, it's simply a term describing a prospect that could enroll at the start of the school year (typically, most freshman football players enroll in the summer, just before the start of a full school year) but delays enrollment until the spring semester. Woody Baron , Seth Dooley , and Jerome Wright are gray-shirts expected to enroll in January.
