Virginia Tech signed 19 new football players on Wednesday, or 20 if you count Malachi Madison (which I do). The class is pretty evenly split between offense and defense, and though Tech will likely sign more in February, I want to go ahead and start taking a closer look at the players the Hokies have signed so far.

Today, I’ll focus on the defensive recruiting class, and next week we’ll move to the offensive side of the ball. I’m not going to give out any superlatives or awards, however, until after the entire class has signed in February.

Defensive Line

Wow, there are a lot of names to mention here.

DE Keyshawn Burgos
DE Kyree Moyston
DT Rashaud Pernell
DT Braelin Moore
DT Malachi Madison*
DT Lemar Law
DL Gunner Givens
