Virginia Tech reached out looking for someone with experience kicking at the collegiate level as they form their roster beyond next season.

"Coach Burnham, the special teams graduate assistant reached out to me the first week of April," Hoban told Sports Illustrated.

"He told me they were graduating their three starting specialists (Oscar Bradburn, Brian Johnson, and John Parker Romo will all be seniors next season). He said they were looking to bring in a transfer kickoff and field goal guy with college experience, not just some experience, but someone who has been through a program and knows what it takes from a daily grind and commitment standpoint. About a week after that, Coach Shibest reached out to me and extended the preferred walk-on offer.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

How are his tackles post kick-off?

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:
“I served in the United States Navy"

Because if they were pre-kickoff they'd probably draw flags

Only if they are within a hour of the kick off.

They changed that rule. Wonder why?

Sort of, they changed how they are going to enforce the rule. The ruler never had a time limit on it. So going by the actual rule book, it was at any time before the game, on the day odd the game.
