Damien Dozier Commits to Virginia Tech

The Hokies land another 2015 defensive verbal commitment.

Damien Dozier makes a tackle in a 28-14 win over North Cross. The VES varsity football team earned a second straight Division III VISAA State Championship Title on Saturday, November 16, 2013.

Story coming, GIFs and celebration for now... In the meantime, here's Marks article on Damien from May.

Oh...Doozers! Took me a sec.

What position is Damien going to play? He mentioned that Cornell will be his position recruiter so is he a whip / backer prospect?

Regardless, welcome to HokieNation Damien!

Aww yiss. It's about time a few started coming our way. Welcome!

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

Hey that guy is the worst wood chopper I have ever seen. But at least he's chopinwood....

Ah, the dominoes are falling into place.

I almost feel like a copy cat now, but I'm glad we both have appreciation for former Hokies with magnificent beards. I signed up last month and it's the best decision I've made in a while, possibly ever.

No, your second best decision was to sign up. Your best decision was to name yourself HokieStones of Steel

THE FIREWORKS KEEP COMING!

@historyhokie.bsky.social

Where did you get this picture and does it come in a bigger resolution?

I just Googled "Virginia Tech Fireworks" so unfortunately don't have anything higher quality for you. If you wade through Google (and potentially look for ring dance fireworks, because I think that's where they're from), you might find what you need. Sorry!

Nickname "Bull Dozier", submitted for approval. Those in favor?

I second that proposal

Two Defensive commits???

Slowly but surely. The 2015 recruiting is looking better.

Soul Train always gets a plus 1 from me.

Ha. I never knew Soul Train, I thought this was just the happiest Family Feud winners of all time.

With Dozier and Hill now on the roster, I think that the Hokies "grocery list" for recruiting looks something like this:

1) Two of the following defensive ends: Josh Sweat, Ricky DeBerry, Darrell Taylor, Marques Ford, Houshain Gaines

2) At least one additional inside linebacker.

3) Two corner/DB prospects. At his NOVA Chalk Talk, Foster discussed how they target corners, and then move guys inside. They want the ability to cover in man and then tackle in space. I think they want one or two more guys to go with Reynolds and Johnson.

4) Offensively, the Hokies still need a true split end at wide receiver. Felton Davis III could be the guy. McCleese is likely a running back commitment, but with seven tailbacks currently on scholarship (not including Jerome Wright) it isn't a huge need position.

5) Again, I can't emphasize how critical it is for Coach Searels to make a splash at the tackle position and get some interior guys who can transition to center. Gallo projects to be a center, and while Mitchell will likely start out wide, I think he could be the Hokies best center since Jake Grove if he moves inside. But, other than Tyrell Smith, tackle depth is a major issue now that Teller has moved inside.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

Jalen Dalton for DE too. I still think UNC will be hard to beat, but we're in his top 3 fwiw.

VT '15

So..like..10 tight ends

The Dude Abides

With this new recruiting staff, we're recruiting all the other positions and converting them to tight ends.
woo

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Tyrell smith did not qualify along with Xavier Burke so only 3 of the o-line guys are on campus.

I guess those aren't bad qual issue guys. Smith needs at least a year to bulk up and Burke can get more separation from our current TE talent.

Strike!

TURKEY leg for you.

Oooh, I see what you did. You really RESET this thread with a GUTTER buster! Lol'd so hard my side SPLIT; I'll have to RETURN later if I can SPARE the time. ...that gif took a while to load, was there an EXTRA FRAME?

On second thought, if I hadn't PICKED UP all the puns, I might have gotten 7-10 more turkey legs; instead I've gone OVER THE LINE. No one will notice, unless Joe PINS the post.

Probably one of the more underrated prospects in this class. Welcome to Hokie Nation, Damien!

In Sam Rogers we trust.
