Tyler Jeffries
Offensive Line, Class of 2023
Alcoa High School, Alcoa, TN
6-5, 310

Because it was a Friday game, there weren’t many recruiting visitors on hand for Virginia Tech’s season-opening win over North Carolina. One of those visitors there, however, was one returning from a previous trip and one who’s becoming more coveted.

Alcoa (Tenn.) 2023 offensive lineman Tyler Jeffries was at Lane Stadium Friday for the first game there since the Hokies’ game against Pittsburgh during the 2019 season. He also camped with Virginia Tech in June. Though it was only his first game visit this season, it was enough to give Jeffries quite a bit more perspective on the Hokies.

“It was pretty dang cool, honestly,” Jeffries said. “The atmosphere was amazing. It was a great game to go to. The O-line played good, the defense freaking stopped UNC a lot of times. It got loud in there on third downs and that’s when it’s fun, when you’re playing and you can’t hear anything. Coach (Vance) Vice, he’s a good coach and he’s a freaking dog. Their O-line is pretty stacked, pretty dang good. I don’t think they allowed one sack and UNC had six sacks allowed. The defense was tearing them up. The school was great, and the facilities are super nice.”
