Long, lean Hokies DL with untapped upside
In the 2025 season, Zeke Chinwike played in one game for Virginia Tech and recorded one tackle, a tiny stat line that doesn’t hide the bigger story: a 6-foot-5, 246-pound edge/DL prospect with length, recruiting pedigree, and room to grow into a disruptive ACC body. He arrived as a three-star defender ranked among Virginia’s better prospects, and the early read is developmental upside rather than immediate star power. If you want a high-ceiling lineman who can add power and snap-to-snap consistency, he’s an intriguing fit.
