When Kalvin Cline announced in late May that he was going to attend Virginia Tech, I watched a couple of minutes of his highlight film and then promptly put him on the backburner.  I thought his film was good, from what I watched, but after seeing him in person on Saturday at the Tech camp, and after (finally) watching his complete highlight tape, I feel like the Hokies got a steal from the state of Florida.

Cline’s verbal was announced on May 31, more than two months after Signing Day. Remember, he’s a 2013 recruit, not 2014.  As we all know by now, Scot Loeffler likes to use a lot of two tight end sets, and right now there is a shortage of proven players in the program at that position.  Cline likely won’t be able to help this year, but he has the physical ability to be a good player for the Hokies on either side of the ball.

Cline, who attended Pine Crest High School in Fort Lauderdale, is a raw talent.  Virginia Tech was fortunate enough to find him for a couple of reasons:

1) Jeff Grimes did his homework.  He was looking at film, he knew the Hokies had a need at tight end, and when he came across Cline he recommended him to the offensive staff.
