The 2018 Virginia Tech Hokies received some tough news on Thursday as redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Tim Settle announced his intentions of entering the NFL Draft. This doesn't come as a total shock as many around the program were concerned Settle would enter the draft even before the regular season ended.
The defense could also lose linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, defensive back Terrell Edmunds and cornerback Adonis Alexander in the coming days. Tremaine Edmunds is the only current Hokie that is projected to go in the first round, therefore it’s expected he will bypass his final season of eligibility.
