#Hokies get a commitment from running back Javian Jones-Priest. He’s a four-star prospect from Arlington, Texas. Ranked as the No. 363 player nationally in the 247Sports Composite. The track star is a burner. Ran for 1,154 yards and 12 TDs as a junior.

The #Hokies are taking my “Spanish announce table at Wrestlemania” idea and running with it. All scoreboards are eventually wrecked in some manner at VT sporting events.

The ACC announced the #Hokies' game against SMU, previously listed as a Friday or Saturday contest, will take place Friday, Nov. 6.

Also, the game at Miami that was announced as a Friday contest will take place on Saturday, Nov. 21. #Hokies

Now an analyst with the #Hokies, Warren Ruggiero's had big success in 30 years running an offense. He never really wanted to stray beyond that side of the ball.

"I just loved being an OC. And I didn’t want to wake up every day and not be able to do it.”

Outgoing #Hokies athletic director Whit Babcock spoke about his 12-year run at Virginia Tech, reminiscing about high and lows and acknowledging the elephant in the room: football's struggles.

“I gave it everything I had and lived and died with it."
