TechSideline.com is proud to release issue #11 of the TSL Extra. This month's lead story is a recruiting profile of defensive end Noland Burchette, the remarkable story of a young man who has changed his life and risen to the opportunities before him.

This month's issue also answers the question of whatever happened to former VT football recruit Camm Jackson from Amherst High School. The answer, unfortunately, is not a happy one.

We also have profiles of Tech's Keith "Sweet Feet" Burnell and Pulaski County High School's Alan Wheeling, who longs to play football for the Hokies. And lastly, we have an "Inside the Numbers" showdown between Virginia Tech's 1995 defense and the 1999 defense.

And (everyone together now) .... "Even more!"

Here's a rundown of the articles in this month's TSL Extra:
