Massive 6'7" Virginia Tech OT commit brings tackle-sized upside to the Hokies
Tyrell Simpson is a 2026 offensive tackle from North Brunswick (Leland, N.C.) who flipped from Rutgers to Virginia Tech on June 23, 2025, bringing rare length and power at 6'7" and roughly 310 pounds. He’s widely viewed as a true tackle prospect, not an interior project, and Virginia Tech signed him as part of a trench-focused 2026 class. The appeal is obvious: big frame, Power 4 offer list, and the kind of size coaches love to mold. If you want a developmental edge protector with real NFL-ish tools, Simpson is a strong fit.
