Big boy.

Thanks for the link. Seems like a bad decision on his part though. He's only a 3 star recruit, and the 20th best player in Va. And he wasn't recruited by any "top" programs besides Va. Tech, who only gave him an offer because he's Bruce's son. Thus, he prob won't see much playing time at Va. Tech given those facts. If he wants to start, he should have picked Syracuse--a program on the rise that he could have started on and contributed to.

One can assume that he wants to be closer to his family and follow in his dad's footsteps.

Nonsense.

 

If he is good, he will play at VT. They're not going to keep a still growing 6-3 272 pound player than can contribute on the bench.

It's not often that 18 year old D-lineman get significant PT at any major program anyway.

 

Alston will have every chance to earn PT at VT.
