This year in linebacker recruiting has been active already, which is somewhat surprising considering Virginia Tech linebackers haven't exactly been notable of late in either the college or professional scene. The last Virginia Tech linebacker drafted was Cody Grimm, and he was promptly put at strong safety (makes sense since he was a Whip linebacker, which in Foster's front is basically a larger strong safety). That was back in 2010. Note, we had a defensive lineman, Jason Worilds, drafted as an outside linebacker in Pittsburgh, but that goes to their 3-4 system, not any specific talent of his at linebacker.
