Former Hokies Star, now Texans rookie linebacker Xavier Adibi reportedly agreed to a four-year deal Tuesday with the Texans. He is expected to put his name on the dotted line Wednesday. Adibi was selected in the fourth round with the 118th overall pick.
Adibi was teammates with the Texans first-round draft pick Duane Brown at Virginia Tech. The All-American Linebacker started 40 of 47 games of his college career with the Hokies. He racked up 291 tackles and 11 sacks. He became just the second linebacker in school history to earn first-team all-America honors (American Football Coaches Association) as a senior.
Adibi and Vince Hall teamed up as one of the toughest linebacker combinations in the nation. Hall is currently with the St. Louis Rams.
