Virginia Tech gets a big, physical in-state DL with interior upside
T-Ron Richardson, a 2026 Virginia Tech commit from Hopewell, brings college-ready size at roughly 6-3 to 6-5 and 290-295 pounds, plus the kind of point-of-attack power that makes offensive lines miserable. In the 2025 season, he was described as an athletic two-way mauler with alignment flexibility inside, projecting best as a 3-technique or nose tackle. His appeal is simple: he stays home, plays with strength, and has the frame to keep growing into a disruptive interior defender.
