WINNING TRADITION

America’s longest active bowl

streak, domination of an in-state

rival, ACC championships,

national exposure, a history of

sending players to the NFL,

fanatical fan support and an

unprecedented track record of

families sending multiple members

to play for the Hokies are all part of

Virginia Tech’s winning tradition.

17

FIRST-CLASS FACILITIES

Lane Stadium/Worsham Field

provides Virginia Tech with one

of the most revered homefield

advantages in all of college football.

The Hokies arguably boast the

finest indoor practice facility of any

college or NFL team in the nation,

and it’s literally just footsteps from a

fabulous locker room.

27

COACHING STAFF

Head coach Justin Fuente leads

a staff that combines some

cornerstones of Tech’s past

success with fresh ideas and

enthusiasm. They share one

common mission – identify and

recruit the best student-athletes

to Virginia Tech and then help

prepare them for success.

PLAYER BIOS

The Hokies return 13 starters

from last season’s squad. The

defense features senior Virginia

natives Andrew Motuapuaka, Greg

Stroman and Anthony Shegog

along with brothers Tremaine and

Terrell Edmunds. On offense,

Wyatt Teller and Eric Gallo anchor

the line with Cam Phillips the top

receiving threat for Tech.
