Tech gets defensive end recruit
James Gayle, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound defensive end from Bethel High School in
Hampton, has become the ninth football prospect to commit to Virginia Tech for
2009.
Gayle was timed in 4.5 seconds for 40 yards at a recent one-day Tech camp and received a scholarship offer on the spot. He said he had nine offers from Division I-A or I-AA programs, including North Carolina State, Syracuse, Purdue and ECU.
Gayle also attended a one-day camp at Virginia and was supposed to return to Charlottesville but decided to end his recruiting.
Gayle's father and uncle played at Ohio State.
