McCray, Farris Talk O-D All-American Bowl

Zack McCray both enjoyed their experiences last week in Myrtle Beach (S.C.), where they competed in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl. The Virginia Tech recruits played solidly and returned home with a glimpse of what it will be like to play on the college level.

One of Virginia Tech’s top recruits in the 2010 class, 6-5, 235-pound defensive end Zack McCray racked up 15 sacks and over 100 tackles his senior year. Of his performance in the all-star game, he said, “I think I did a pretty good job. Going from playing in high school to going against these guys is different. In high school, I could get away with using only a few select moves. At the Offense-Defense, I’d have to vary what I’d do each play and think about how I would play. The guys are a lot bigger and stronger, which is a testament to me needing to get in the weight room before I get to Tech.

“It was a bigger jump for me, coming from AA ball to playing against the best offensive linemen in the country. It’s nothing I can’t handle, though.”
