David Wang Adjusting Well to DT

Primarily an offensive lineman last season as a junior, 6-2, 302-pound Stone Bridge (Ashburn, VA) star David Wang has primarily played the 3-technique defensive tackle spot this season. It has been a transition, but as the weeks go on the standout senior is getting more and more comfortable with the new position.

“The position I’m playing now is better suited to what I’ll be doing at Virginia Tech,” said Wang, who was a first-team all-state selection at offensive line last season as a junior. He also played on the defensive line last season, but Stone Bridge ran a three lineman front.

“Right now, I’m feeling really comfortable playing the 3-technique. At the beginning, getting used to the speed of coming off the ball was something I needed to get used to. The speed wasn’t extremely hard to adjust to, but I’ve been working on my technique week by week.”

Stone Bridge runs “defensive periods” and “offensive periods” in practice each week, with some of those sessions dedicated solely to technique. That has helped the Stone Bridge star’s development throughout the year.
