WHY HE CHOSE TECH: “Coach [Torrian] Gray recruited me harder than any of the other coaches at the other schools. I’ve been down to Virginia Tech a lot, so I’m familiar with the school and with the defense and what Coach Gray is going to run. The DB coach at my school [Roland Minor] played for Coach Gray, so that was a big impact on me going there.”
