The focus of today’s article on the 2021 Virginia Tech recruiting class will be on the defensive side of the ball. The Hokies signed a big class on both sides of the ball, and they oversigned at linebacker and in the secondary because they lack quality depth at those positions.
Size At Defensive End
What I like about this class, and what I like about the hiring of Darryl Tapp and Bill Teerlinck, is Virginia Tech’s focus on getting longer and lengthier at defensive end. You saw how effective Justus Reed (6-3, 255) could be when healthy, and you also got a peek at the long-term potential of Amare Barno (6-6, 235), and I think that’s what ideal defensive ends at Virginia Tech will look like in the future.
