Second trip not as good for Pressley

With the dead period rapidly approaching, the nation’s No. 1 defensive tackle and No. 6 player overall decided to take an unexpected visit to Virginia this weekend. DeMario Pressley of Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley also set up the rest of his official visits, too.

“This is starting to get a little crazier than before,” Pressley, who is 6-foot-4 and 295 pounds, said. “I was really impressed with N.C. State and then I took the visit to Virginia this weekend. They have some of the best academics that I’ve ever seen. But I didn’t get to do a lot of fun things because it was kind of an unplanned visit.”

Pressley said he couldn’t compare the UVA trip against N.C. State because they were so different.

“They were both different in a good way,” he said. “I had more fun at N.C. State because I had time to go out to parties and see people around campus.”

Pressley has now lined up the rest of his official visits – North Carolina was already set for January 9, but he’s now set to visit Oklahoma State on January 16 and then Florida State on January 23.
