Virginia Tech confirmed in a statement Thursday that secondary coach Torrian Gray has stepped down effective immediately to pursue a coaching position in his home state of Florida. Gray thanked new head coach Justin Fuente in the released statement.

"This wasn't about dollars and cents or anything else," said Gray. "Virginia Tech made me a very generous offer to stay, but this was simply a career opportunity and chance to return home to my Florida roots that my family couldn't pass up."

Defensive coordinator Bud Foster also thanked the Dean of DBU for his years of service to Virginia Tech.

"Torrian's been a fine player and a fine coach for Virginia Tech. I know he was torn about this decision, but ultimately we both understood that for him to advance in his career, this day would eventually come," said Foster.

News broke Wednesday evening that Gray would be leaving Blacksburg. Gray is expected to coach the same position at the University of Florida, according to an SI.com report.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.

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:
