Virginia Tech football: Stampede Blue interviews Divine Deablo

Divine Deablo had an outstanding career for the Virginia Tech Hokies. Originally signed as a three-star wide receiver in the 2016 recruiting class, it didn’t take long for legendary defensive coordinator Bud Foster to see Deablo belonged on the defense.

Deablo would move to the defensive side of the ball after his freshman season and became a three-year starter on defense.

During his time in Blacksburg, Deablo played in 51 games, making 33 starts, finishing with 206 career tackles and six interceptions.

Deablo’s size, experience, football IQ, and athleticism make him a perfect hybrid defender for today’s NFL.
