Ohio QB Chris Durkin flips '14 commitment from Michigan State to Virginia Tech | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

A little about Durkin, and a highlight vid...interesting, in the video he only attempts one pass from the pocket

Buckys gonna switch to te

Buckys gonna switch to te

Is he on board with this? He has the size, but can he block and catch?

 

[VT_Antzo]

Durkin looks like he can play some H-Back or TE as well. Lets have a two part competition between Durkin and Bucky, one gets to play QB and the other TE. Win freakin win.

 

[bharm15]

yeah bucky is excited for it. he's already been playing there on the scout team some and thinks he can be a really good tight end

 

[Castanza]

Durkin is a Beast!!!! Love this pickup. What recruits left do you guy's think we land?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Nnadi, Minor, Keihn, Bronson

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Maybe Peyton

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

...maybe another OL out of the blue

...maybe another OL out of the blue

So we out of it for Isaiah Ford? What happens when Harrison jumps ship at the last minute?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

1. I don't worry about Harrison nearly as much as everyone else. I think he is a Hokie.

2. I am a nobody so me not thinking we get Ford means nothing, ha ha.

 

[sparko]

meh -- everyone knows that he's played there on the scout team. you have first/legit knowledge that he is going to permanently switch to TE?

up to this point, i've heard nothing but speculation

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

What Sparko said. Bucky will get a shot.

 

[Sleepy T]

I think McMillian will get a shot too. Unfortunately for some of those guys, they don't quite fit the mold of what Leoffler looks for in a QB. But I think they will all get a fair shake and get a shot. Many of those guys could play others positions (Motley, Hodges, McMillian)...some (Durkin, Ford) maybe not so much.

 

[bharm15]

thats just what bucky said but then again what does he know

 

[sparko]

You know Bucky bpharm? I'm not disputing what you're saying man -- just wondering if your info is 1st hand, 2nd hand, GotLinks? or just from other message boards?

I've seen on several boards people claiming that Bucky is switching to TE --- but nothing to really substantiate the claim.

FWIW -- I can see it happening. With his size and athleticism in an offense where they actually want to use the TE, he could end up there and end up special.

 

[m477hokie]

I find that so ironic -- the inverse of the LT situation

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Oh I think it is a possibility for sure but my source (y'all know who) is pretty on top of this stuff so let me see what I can find. Last he heard, Bucky was going into Spring as a QB.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Here is what I was told. Bucky was a great TE on the scout team and will get reps at both positions in the Spring and will be evaluated after that. He sounds genuinely interested in either and time will tell.
