David Hale: "Why Virginia Tech's Brandon Facyson is savoring every sip of college life"

This a good article detailing Facyson's collegiate career and aspirations. It really makes you appreciate everything Brandon has gone through and still able to achieve despite the various injuries and hardships.

Brandon wanted to be a doctor, and he wanted to play in the NFL, and achieving even one of those goals would be a whirlwind, so his parents looked for the place that would find ways to make the schedule work. In the years since, however, that focus on time has proven prophetic in more ways than anyone in the Facyson family could've imagined.
...
"Everyone has their own path," Brandon said. "You go through things you have to overcome, and I feel like I've become a stronger person. If it means going through hard times to get where I need to go, that's fine. It's not frustrating. I'm excited about this season. I'm blessed to be here."

Cheers to you Brandon. May you have an amazing senior season and rewarding career in the NFL or the OR.

Even when you get skunked; fishing never lets you down. 🎣

Too bad. I like my DBs to be able to keep theirs on a swivel.

It made my skin crawl to click on an ESPN link, but it's a nice story.

How is it that recruiting threads get like 400 comments a month and this gets three. This is the thing we want! What is wrong with us people!

Glad to see Facyson enjoying the process. The NFL is a great thing to aspire too, but not forcing it and savoring the ride seems like the right thing to do.

I love the fact that his entire life he has had a plan is still working on achieving it. I still think his freshman year that he was the better corner than Kendall.
