Maybe comparing college football players to a game that forces kids to kill each other isn't the best idea, but I'm not really a graphics person so who knows.
Interesting to see some early leaders emerge. Also interesting that Blumrick is up there. Whether or not his future remains at QB, I hope he can find a role for this team.
I was more surprised to see Holston. If he makes it to the fall, that'll be what, 6 years in the program?
He has always intrigued me and is one of the backs I am excited to see under the new staff. I don't really know why, but it always seemed like he had great potential and was somehow not being allowed to show it.
He's talked about not wanting to transfer so my guess is that he knows this is his last shot and wants to put on for the new coaches. Clean slate and all that
Like Holston a ton and glad he's stuck here through the years. But I'm hoping we have a rotation that heavily features guys like Thomas, Christian, Lee, and Black/Duke. Holston seems like a 3 yards and cloud of dust runner. But then again, this is a clean slate with the new staff in town. May the best men for the jobs win.
Holstons better than 3/5 and the other one that isn't starting is a true freshman
I'm excited to see what Cole Nelson can do. I don't really know why but I've thought that he would be good since he signed.
Yeah I think Justin Hamilton or one of the other departing coaches said Cole Nelson was going to be big for us
Just updated with Week 2 winners.
Repeat winners are Cole Nelson and Jorden McDonald
Can somebody inform this uneducated Hokie what a hunger drill is?
Team Conditioning before spring practice. I assume Coach Pry wants to see who's got the hunger for hard work and puts in the effort start to finish.
I believe it is derivative of the Hunger Games book and movie series. They too had a "Victor" from each season which was basically the last person alive at the end of a series of closed environment challenges. They even somewhat mimick the logo.

As a fan of the books and movies, it's a great play on words to me. It's engaging and gives people idea of what's going on in the offseason. Just need that first '23 Pry commit and it's on like donkey kong.
Lotta newbs on this list, Hopefully this pushes the upper classmen a lot. I'm going to try and not draw any conclusions and just let this rest, but this really really has me questioning even more wtf the previous coaching staff was doing in the conditioning department.
