After having football in my life my entire life and playing for the last 13 years straight I have decided to retire from playing.— TJ Shaw (@tj_shaw) January 30, 2014

HokieSports has him only playing 3 plays vs WCU this year. Redshirted and then spent most of r-Fr year on scout team nursing a wrist injury. No indication of scholarship or not but I'm guessing probably not.

Also, he served as the scout O QB for GT week and did a hell of a job. Giving the defense such a good look is one of the reasons VT has performed so well against Paul Johnson's offenses recently.

Everyone has their place in Hokie lore. As does TJ. The benefits he provided to the team will not be forgotten (GT comment above is one). He is moving on in life, as we all do. His place and his future reside in another place - he's going to find that place. We all go through that search when we are in college. God-speed to him. TJ you are always a member of the Hokie Nation! Thanks!

Good luck to him. Hope he finds success outside of football, thank you for your contributions to Hokie Nation TJ!
Thanks for your dedication and hard work for the football team, TJ. That makes you one hell of a Hokie in my book.
and the attrition begins....
Thanks to a hard working Hokie
He wasn't on scholarship was he?

No scholie - he was a walkon.
Good luck, TJ - wish you well for the future.
Derp. You are correct.
let's just call it foreshadowing for the coming attrition then.
Hate to have him go. Good luck in whatever he pursues in the future!
haha ohhhhh tj I hope he enjoyed it, nice guy he was my neighbor freshman year

This can't be overstated. One of the little things that definitely had a big impact.
Can we bring him in for 1 week of practice next year to prep for GT?
Sad to see a Hokie walk away, but thanks to TJ for being a proud member of the VT football team and best wishes.
