Virginia Tech's Oversized EDGE-Turned-TE Who Fizzled Out Early
Zack McCray, a 6-5, 256-pound beast from Brookville High (Class of 2010), exploded HS with 96 tackles and 13 sacks as a senior DE, earning All-District honors before flipping to TE at Virginia Tech; he played all 14 games in 2011 (141 defensive snaps, 59 special teams) but saw minimal 2012 action as a redshirt sophomore, then transferred to Troy where he barely logged snaps (one game in 2013, one in 2014) before vanishing from college football. Raw athleticism and size screamed upside, but lack of production and staying power make him a non-factor today—no current roster fit for teams seeking impact players.
