Top 25 In-State OL Recruits of the Past
by Chris Coleman, TechSideline.com

Will Stewart’s “Road To Signing Day” article that was released Thursday on TSL revealed a lot about the current offensive line recruits in the state of Virginia. So how do those recruits compare to classes of the past? And how did Tech’s past offensive line signees from Virginia’s top 25 fare in their careers? Read on to find out.

First, let’s take a look at all the offensive linemen who have been ranked in the top 25 since 1995, and where they went to school.

Let’s examine the 13 players on that list who signed with Virginia Tech. Three of those players, David Pugh, Jake Grove and Jon Dunn, went on to the NFL, and Pugh ended up at defensive tackle for the Hokies. From 1995 through 1997, the Hokies signed just one offensive lineman from the top 25, and that was Pugh.

Let’s take a further look at each of those Tech signees, and what they accomplished in their Tech careers, or what they are projected to do this season.

Only five of those 13 players recruited since 1997 have started on the offensive line. As noted above, Pugh played defensive tackle. Travis Conway was recruited to be a long snapper. Beau Warren will likely start his career at tight end. But of the other 10 players who did play, or will play, along the offensive line, the Hokies have recruited well.

If Nick Marshman and Ryan Shuman start as projected this year, then seven of those 10 players will have achieved starter status. Matt Welsh and Antonio North would still have an opportunity to start in the future, as well. The Hokies haven’t gotten big numbers of offensive linemen in the top 25 over the years, but they have generally gotten quality play from those they did get.

Unfortunately, many of the offensive linemen that spurned the Hokies to head to UVA, or out of state, went on to very successful careers. Boston College has landed three offensive linemen from Virginia since 1995. Two of them, Damien Woody and Darnell Alford, went on to the NFL. The third, Pat Sheil, is still in school.

The Hoos have recruited 13 players off the list, and three of them -- John St. Clair (1995), Elton Brown (2001) and Brad Butler (2002) -- have gone on to the NFL. Of Tech’s 13 offensive line recruits, two have gone to the NFL. Pugh also was drafted by the Colts, but as a defensive lineman, of course.

The Hokies and Cavs have done a good job of keeping the linemen in the top 25 in state recently. Since 2000, there have been 20 top 25 linemen in the state, and 16 have gone to either Virginia Tech or UVA. Of those 16, nine have signed with VT and seven with UVA.
