Mike Barber penned an excellent story on the passing of Caleb Farley's mother and the adversity he's overcome. There's also a sub-theme of all the locker room support Farley received. That struck a cord with me considering all the rumblings heard throughout the offseason.
It's a terrific read, and worth your time this morning: https://www.richmond.com/sports/college/schools/virginia-tech/after-moth....
When Fuente learned of Robin's death, he called Farley, a redshirt freshman. While obviously devastated by the loss of his mother, Farley had that familiar positive outlook, the same one he had after suffering a serious knee injury his first year in college. It's the same one he inherited from his mom.
"I think that's a gift," Fuente said. "He's got that gift. He's got a great outlook. He's got a great family. To me, not everyone can do that. I'm certainly not sure I'd be able to do that in those situations, and it's something we admire about him."

Your spelling of the word "chord" piqued my interest....
Great article, that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Thanks for sharing.
Hitting a piece of rope is 110% one of my favorite past times
I saw that article. It's worth a read.
I've got a feeling that Caleb Farley is on track to be one of the best and most beloved Hokies by the time he leaves Blacksburg.
great article, best of luck to Caleb this season and beyond
