Four-star prospect Tony Tucker will begin his official visits this upcoming weekend, with Virginia Tech being the program on the receiving end of his first trip. This will be the first ever visit to Blacksburg for Tucker, a standout defensive end talent out of St. John’s in Washington, D.C.

“It is my first visit to Virginia Tech and I’m pretty excited about that,” Tucker said. He’ll arrive in Blacksburg on Friday and will leave on Sunday. “As for what I’ll be looking for, I think I’ll just mostly be looking at the campus and the atmosphere of the whole place. I want to see if this is somewhere I can live. Of course, academics are always a factor. I know my parents will check into that. I’ll also be looking at the game atmosphere.”

The 6-2, 225-pound Tucker says the Tech staff is excited about his arrival.

“They said they can’t wait for me to get down there,” said Tucker, who is being recruited by Virginia Tech as a defensive end. “They are excited about me coming.”
