Thanks to recent attrition, we could see Tech’s numbers going up on the defensive side of the ball for the 2013 recruiting class. The Hokies desperately need cornerbacks, and we could see them add an extra linebacker as well.
James Farrow made what I believe will turn out to be a mistake for him and decided to transfer. He would be Virginia Tech’s #3 cornerback had he not left the program. Also, the loss of Telvion Clark leaves Tech with an extra spot to sign another linebacker if they so choose.
