Ryan Malleck commits to VT

Good get for the Hokies as Malleck bails on Maryland and signs on to the Hokies. A top 25 player out of NJ (Jason Worild's state, good pipeline) that had some no-joke offers from Nebraska, Miami, Uconn, UVA, and others.

He's an athletic-type that played the spread offense in high school but could play a variety of positions at VT (please don't throw 50 pounds on the guy to make him an undersized lineman). He's got great size at 6-5 230 and was clocked with a sub 4.6 - even more reason not to stick him on the line. I think he'll be able to compete for immediate playing time and could emerge as a receiving threat, especially if Lanier gets slid over to the big blocking tight end. Overall, a great addition to the class and hopefully the beginning of a strong finish.
