Xavier Burke

Height: 6-3
Weight: 245
3-star recruit by 247Sports, #21 TE overall, #20 recruit in VA

Xavier Burke committed very early to the Hokies and didn’t bother to travel the region and attend a bunch of camps, unlike other prospects.  That probably cost him a number of scholarship offers, but he always considered Virginia Tech to be the place for him.

Burke is projected as a tight end by most, though Brunswick High School apparently isn’t much of a passing team.  He caught just five passes as a junior, and his HokieSports.com highlight tape only shows him catching three passes.  He put up 18 tackles for loss and 10 sacks from his defensive end position.
