Scouting Report

July 29, 2026

Kemari Copeland #13

Virginia Tech · DT · R-Sr · 2027 Draft · Virginia Beach, VA · Floyd E. Kellam

6-2 · 290 lbs

5.9

Priority UDFA

Floor 5.5 · Ceiling 6.1

#682 overall · #36 DT of 15102

Scouting Verdict

VT's most productive returning interior lineman (48 tk, 4.5 sacks in 2025) after an Army → JUCO → Blacksburg path. Only a 2★ recruit, but the on-field disruption is real and earned — production-over-pedigree.

Ceiling · 6.1

Projected 2026 starter (DL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 5.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.4.

Pedigree

2★ recruit · Natl #2698 · Pos #136 · State #77

Path: Army → Iowa Western C.C. → Virginia Tech
