Had a discussion yesterday regarding Luke Tenuta. As many of you know, Luke is now a freshman offensive tackle for us and his father used to be the defensive coordinator at UVa.
I think a huge selling point for future recruits is that we have gotten a lot of former players who come from football families. It speaks to the level of respect our coaching staff has within the football community.
Off the top of my head: Cody Grimm (Russ Grimm, HOF O-lineman), Chase Williams (Gregg Williams, DC for the Browns), The Edmundi (Ferrell Edmunds, Pro Bowl TE), Danny Coale (Jimmy Coale, strength coach at VMI) and Josh Jackson (Fred Jackson, former longtime RB coach at Michigan).
Can you think of any more?

Knew this one from memory:
Billy Hardee III (now professionally Dr. Abraham Hardee), son of Billy Hardee Jr. (VT HOF)
Just learned these:
Coleman Fox, son of Rich Fox (VT FB under Beamer)
Dalton Keene, son of Wes Keene (played DL under Beamer and Foster at Murray State, roomed with Charley Wiles)
"Billy...short for...William?"
"Abraham"

Abe's the middle name
For Billy Jr., Abe is the middle name.
For Billy III, Billy is the middle name.
Hank -> Frank
Gouveia-Winslow's dad is Kurt Gouveia and played for Washington, Philadelphia, and San Diego in the 80's & 90's. Now they're both coaching at Brevard College per wikipedia.
Probably his best play for us.
oh man, I totally forgot about the hyphen. I kept waiting for him to finally transition from liability to anchor for the secondary and it never really happened.
