Hokies make Top 6 For 2016 Blue Chip OL Landon Dickerson

North Carolina offensive tackle Landon Dickerson has narrowed down his top group of schools.

Dickerson has reportedly already planned official visits to Auburn and Michigan. He also told The Key Play's Alex Koma he would be in Blacksburg for the Ohio State game.

Man, do we need this guy! Keep bringing in those OLs!

Tough crowd

Seriously. Anybody know what his planned major is?

It was a catch

Engineering.

if I remember correctly, FSU has to send engineering students to a partner school because they don't actually have an engineering department. This is based on a friend who finished there in 2010, though. Might have changed.

Anyway, if he's serious about getting an engineering degree, it should be down to us and Michigan. Seems like an easy choice to me...

They have a joint engineering program with Florida A&M.

Tennessee has an engineering department. I think the nuclear program is the highlight of it, because of the close proximity to Oak Ridge.

Just to follow up with rankings, cause...numbers.
UM -6
VPI -21
UT -63
AU -68
FSU/FA&M -117
UGA -135

Obviously rankings vary by source and specific major. These are overall engineering grad schools because its what google brought up first. Michigan has a great engineering program, but there are a few key drawbacks. First, you have to live in Michigan. Second, my experience with Michigan grads has been eerily similar to my experience with LOLUVa grads (I'm sure our resident buckeyes can confirm). So yeah, Landon, don't be one of those guys.

Writes in complete, grammatically correct sentences. UNC doesn't make list.

Sometimes the world just makes sense.

His recruiting blew up. We were in on him early, most of those teams weren't anywhere to be found until summer.

Our evaluation system is as good as any in the country.

Helps that he is a legacy but I agree.

Wow, thats what you envision when your looking for an OL. Hope Wiles and Searels can land him.
Does anyone know why Wiles is involved in his recruitment? I didn't think this was his recruiting area...

Landon would be an outstanding addition to our team. Hope we impress him next week.

"Exit light..."

... next week

So...stinkin...close

Would be a phenomenal snag. Could really use his talents.

...but man, given the competition...

Easily the most important recruit of 2016

Even moreso since Mike Arnold didn't qualify.

Very very very very very important.

Are you wearing a tri-corner hat in your avatar photo?

From what I've heard he is alot like josh sweat in that he really likes tech alot, loves the coaches but he tends to talk himself out of it, sweat said the coaches let off the gas with him, they need to step on it with dickerson, this guy is a beast on and off the field, coaches really need to close the deal here.

As another note, he likely won't be taking an official to tech, because of so many unofficials

if we don't get an OV I don't like our chances.

I could be convinced either way. He's saving his OVs for Auburn, FSU, UM because its probably expensive and difficult to get across the country like that. But since Tech is in his backyard he can easily do an unofficial whenever he wants with little effort, so there's no need to burn an OV. He'll still definitely visit Tech more than any other school, but not getting an OV isn't great

I've never seen a HS OLineman be so....mean! Good Lord. He went after one kid after he was pancaked, without his own helmet!

To call this kid a beast is an insult. He's a monster!

I love the fact that
A) We are recruiting actual linemen
B) Good linemen are looking at us
C) Searels is building depth on the line
D) All of the above

I love watcing his hudl highlights.

Go Hokies

I can see why he was underrated coming into this past summer. Plays on an apparently bad offense against bad competition and the coaches love having him out in space so there isn't much tape of him working against a big, talented DE or in pass pro. Hard to tell much solely from the highlight tape. I almost hate that he went out and proved himself at camps.

Anyway, he has a mean streak a mile wide that you have to love.
