So... I know the Collegiate Times is unpopular around here...but I went to a speech engagement by Dwight Vick yesterday and was truly blown away by the work he's been doing since graduation. He's a really down to earth, caring individual that's been truly embodying the Ut Prosim mentality.

Wow.
Thanks for posting.
This is the type of stuff that should be highlighted in the news to serve as a model for others.
He really is a great person and a role model for young players!
He also has made a big impact on Tim Settle, hopefully that translates to him coming here! But regardless what a upstanding guy, a true Hokie!
Yep. The thing I really admire about Dwight is that he loves Virginia Tech more than anyone, but unlike a lot of people in this state, he never lets his allegiance or bias interfere, pressure, or steer a kid to his alma mater. All he truly cares about is crafting successful kids on and off the field.
We were talking about his son who is 7 now and playing QB and I asked him if we could expect to see another Vick QB on the field. He laughed and said during the Oregon-UVa game his son told him that he liked UVa, and he told him if that's who he likes, he supports him 100%.
Truly a remarkable guy.
I'm often asking by acquaintances, co-workers, etc. "What exactly is a Hokie?"
From now on, I'm just going to link them to that article.
Well done, Mr. Vick.
