6-2, 190-pound Smithfield star running back Dyrell Roberts has the potential to burst onto the recruiting scene. He already holds scholarship offers from the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech and has received very serious interest from a number of others, including Florida. Roberts, who is excited about his offers and the interest from other programs, took some time to talk recruiting.

Asked if he had a particular favorite growing up, Roberts replied, “Growing up, because one of my idols was Mike Vick, I was always leaning towards Virginia Tech and hoping they would win.
