Offer Profile: Oviedo DL Dwight Tucker

Virginia Tech is one of the first major Division 1A programs to extend a scholarship offer to 6-3, 280-pound defensive line prospect Dwight Tucker . Oviedo (FL) head coach Greg Register will not be surprised if more top 1A programs join the Hokies, as he feels his star is the real deal.

“He is going to be a monster,” Register said of Tucker. “We have two players playing for Florida (DE Clint McMillan and OL Corey Hobbs) and he fits that mold. Dwight is 6-3. The kid can move. He has a lot of ability. He is growing into his body – there is some fat on him now, but he’ll get that off.”

Register explained why Tucker’s recruitment may have gotten off to a slow start.

“If kids are serious about being recruited, they come to me and initiate their own recruiting process,” Register said. “Dwight was a little slow in starting that. Once his film gets out, he has the ability to get more offers. Tennessee called the other day. Virginia Tech offered. Duke has offered. Army has offered. He has some options already.”
