Rivals now predicting Derrick Nnadi to Virginia Tech

As we mentioned on the new Thekeyplay.com recruiting twitter feed (@TKP_Recruiting), all seven Rivals recruiting experts are now predicting that Rivals 250 defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi will sign with Virginia Tech on National Signing Day.

Nnadi, an explosive 6'1 300 pound defensive tackle from Virginia Beach, has been a top priority recruit for the Hokies following the graduation of Derrick Hopkins and the departure of Kris Harley.

Earlier this afternoon, Mike Farrell from Rivals participated in a Reddit AMA where he again seemed to point to Nnadi coming to Blacksburg.

I have been steadfast that Derrick Nnadi is the most important recruit in this class. While we know that Luther Maddy is an outstanding defensive tackle, and I fully expect that Nigel Williams will be a breakout player this spring, depth is a serious concern. Nnadi not only provides Bud Foster with a space eater at nose tackle that gives some size to a very small defensive line group, but Nnadi also has as much natural ability to defeat double teams and get into the backfield as any defensive tackle in Blacksburg since Jonathan Lewis.
