From our friend Shane at vt.fanfoc.us:
As the NFL combine swings into full gear this weekend – something that I think deserves a lot more attention is just how many hokies are participating in the combine this year – here are the top ncaa schools (ranked by # of participants):
- USC 12
- Virginia Tech 11
- Arkansas 8
- LSU 8
- Cal 7
- Oklahoma 7
- Texas 7
- Michigan 7
So you ask – exactly who are those 11 fine hokies heading to the nfl combine?
- Adibi, Xavier – LB 6′2″ 220lbs
- Booker, Barry – DT 6′4″ 284lbs
- Brown, Duane – OL 6′5″ 300lbs
- Ellis, Chris – DE 6′4″ 260lbs
- Flowers, Brandon – CB 5′10″ 190lbs
- Hall, Vince – ILB 6′0″ 238lbs
- Harper, Justin – WR 6′4″ 198lbs
- Morgan, Josh – WR 6′1″ 215lbs
- Parker, D.J. – CB 6′0″ 195lbs
- Powell, Carlton – DT 6′3″ 300lbs
- Royal, Eddie – WR 5′10″ 182lbs
I’m actually surprised to see 11 hokies on the list and it’s a testament to the quality of players VT has been bringing in lately and good job beamer and his staff do developing those players. So who isn’t on this list?
