Jonathan McLaughlin (No. 71) [Ben Weidlich]

Virginia Tech will be down another starter for the rest of its season. During today's press conference head coach Frank Beamer announced starting right tackle Jonathan McLaughlin will have season ending surgery on his injured left ankle. McLaughlin started all 13 games at left tackle in 2013 and each of Tech's 9 games at right tackle this season.

Redshirt junior Wade Hansen replaced McLaughlin after his injury against Boston College last week, and is expected to handle the right tackle duties against Duke. Hansen sat out the 2013-14 season after transferring to Tech from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Hansen moved from defensive tackle to offensive tackle prior to this season. Outside of his playing time against BC, he has seen limited action this season.
