Tim Settle 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Typically defensive tackles are known for plugging up holes along the offensive line and don’t collect too many stats. However, that was not the case for Tim Settle<\/a><\/strong> out of Virginia Tech. Settle was born and raised in Manassas, VA and attended Stonewall Jackson High School. Settle had a monster senior year finishing with 72 tackles, 25 tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles and 10 pass deflections.<\/p>\n

That season bolstered Settle’s stock as he became a highly sought-after high school prospect. ESPN had him ranked as the fourth-best defensive tackle and second best prospect in the state of Virginia. Settle had scholarship offers from over 30 schools including programs like Alabama and Auburn, but he elected to stay close to home and play for the Hokies.<\/p>\n

Settle redshirted his first year at Virginia Tech but hopped into the rotation the following year and produced immediately. As a redshirt freshman, Settle tallied up 17 tackles, seven tackles for a loss and blocked one kick against East Carolina. In 2017, Settle started all 13 games for the Hokies defense. He recorded 36 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, four sacks and blocked a field goal last season. Settle had a career-high six-tackle performance against the Clemson Tigers and earned second-team All-ACC accolades.<\/p>\n
