Nick Acree

Nick Acree, VT's lone verbal for 2010, is planning on transfering to FUMA for the upcoming season. He played DE last year for his HS, but will move to DT (his more natural position and the one he will play at VT).

My impression: Nothing but love for Acree, who I think will be our first 1st round NFL pick at DT (unless you're counting Bruce, but he's a DE in my mind even though he played DT at Tech). He is the kind of guy who is already physically dominating and can come in and play right away at DT for Tech's system, which asks DTs just to be a disruptive force and really nothing else. FUMA, and Shuman more importantly, will provide Big Nick with the base knowledge and footwork.
