Spring Practice is here! The heights and weights were updated on HokieSports, so I thought y’all would like to see how everyone has changed since last season. I kept the numbers from previous weigh-ins to track how the player has transformed their body. It’ll be cool to see how much players have changed in their four years on campus.

Things that stood out:
- D.J. Coles is 238 pounds. That’s too heavy, but I imagine that’s because he’s been off the field for a year.
- The defensive ends slimmed down. Gayle is now 253 pounds, 16 pounds less than football season.
- Andrew Miller slimmed down.
- Donaldven Manning is up to 174, which is great to see.
- Augie Conte is up to 294 pounds, certainly a weight he could play at. If he gains a little more weight over the summer, that’d be perfect.
- Alston Smith is up to 299, he gained 29 pounds in a year.
- I didn’t see Christian Reeves on the roster
- A.J. Hughes is up 11 pounds.
What are your thoughts on the changes? What do you think is good and bad?
