Kyshoen put up 21 reps on the bench, good for the 3rd best performance for a safety. The analysis on the draft site says that he plays safety like a linebacker. That bench set can help reinforce that claim.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

They aren't wrong...

Did they end up calling that a fumble? I remember the hit not what happened after, was too busy jumping around at the smack down.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

I believe the ground caused it and they ruled it a catch.

You must feel like the guy Kyshoen hit.

Unofficial 4.58 40 for Jarrett.

Official 4.57 40 for Jarrett with a 33 inch vertical jump and 109 inch broad jump. Not the best jumping results...

Pretty middle of the pack results all around, not helping himself very much. Gibson had a good showing though, but probably not enough to seriously impact his draft stock. All of the VT guys are likely still in the 6th round to free agent range.

Jarrett turned in a 6.95 second 3 cone drill which is a pretty good showing. His 4.40 second 20 yard shuttle and 11.61 second 60 yard shuttle aren't great though. I hope he hasn't hurt his draft stock too badly today.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Good luck boys, go out and get after it!

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:

DeAngelo Hall is talking up the Hokies on the combine show.

Sure is. Him being on the show and hyping us up is huge. The effect he's having on recruiting, I believe is incalculable. Great ambassador Virginia Tech. Atta boy D Hall!
Side Note: The highlights of him at VT made me miss the good ol days with the simple yet perfect uniforms.

Yes, pure comedy. He turned in a solid 6.10 40! He was movin!

When I checked earlier, Bonner hadn't run the 40. Any reason why not?

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Andy suggested it was probably injury related. The only drill he did was the bench press.
