Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Harry Lewis will transfer from Virginia Tech, a Hokies spokesperson confirmed Monday.

"Harry hasn't gotten as many reps as I would have liked to have gotten Harry," d-line coach Charley Wiles said in April. "His natural hand down is a right-handed stance. We've played him out of the left-handed just because we don't have that many guys that can play out of a left-handed stance. But Harry's shown some improvement. He has. I wish there was more reps to get him right now, but we've been pouring all the reps into Tim and Ricky and Nigel and Woody right now. I think Harry's time is coming right now."

Although, the 3-star Phoebus HS product projected as a reserve rather than among Tech's two-deep this season, Lewis' departure affects the Hokies' depth in future years.

Nigel Williams and Woody Baron are seniors. Beyond Tech's starting duo, Ricky Walker (r-So.), Steve Sobczak (r-So.), Tim Settle (r-Fr.), and Jarrod Hewitt (Fr.) comprise the Hokies' scholarship defensive tackles.

Considering Wiles travels 5-6 defensive tackles, and Virginia Tech doesn't hold a commitment from a 2017 DT, the cupboard is not quite stocked.

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
