Fuente has a history with Wing-T high school QB's that weren't highly recruited. A guy named Paxton Lynch ran a wing T offense in high school too.

So people want to argue performance on the field this season? Okay.
1. Keenan Reynolds. Why not?
Or 2 or 3. He's got as good a set of numbers as anyone else.
OT:
Too bad the Hokies will never own the longest streak over their rivals record. Go Wildcats!

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Jerod Evans Commits to the Hokies I know a certain UVA QB that might disagree.
Didn't he redshirt this year?
I could see that. Stroman has plenty of speed but lacks size. At 168 lbs he's not knocking anyone over. On a screen with a good block he could get to the outside and burn.
I've heard Torrian is very high on Terrell Edmunds intangible/instinctual aspects.
Tremaine started against Georgia Tech (and got pulled after one quarter obviously), but I think he has a lot of upside and kinda hope he doesn't outgrow LB. Bud seems to like him
Chuck is only a junior, unless he enters the draft he will return.
I would be concerned about Motley being the backup. Motley showed a lot of heart and seems like a good person. The issue is that he was basically an unrecruited Wing-T QB recruited by a wide receivers coach (Kevin Sherman) that was eliminated in the last coaching overhaul. Maybe Fuente's staff can do more with Motley and Durkin.
Strohman should focus on defense. Someone else should be taught to return punts.
Yea VT has 3 NFL QB's getting pay checks this year. Not many schools can say that.
Chuck Clark was really an impact player this year, though. We will miss him until some of the younger guys get seasoned. That said, I'm really looking forward to seeing how much Uncle Drew improves with another spring and summer of practice.
More importantly, he will have plenty of time to get his degree and become a two-year starter in a high scoring offense.
You know I have heard a lot of people talk about Settle tearing it up next year but people really forget just how much talent we have at DT. Woody and Nigel both have a lot of playing time under their belt. Woody has been great except for a few bonehead plays (*cough the most untimely offsides ever *cough) and Nigel has an all ACC honor under his belt. I definitely see Settle getting playing time next year but I would be far from surprised if he's not starting against Liberty.
Edit: No worries, I wan't forgetting Sobczak and Walker, I was just naming the 2 guys that will be at the top of the depth chart at the end of this season. I think it will be very interesting to see how the DT depth chart pans out come the 2016 kickoff.
With this transfer I see Evans as the starter. Now it gets interesting. Does Lawson redshirt if he doesn't win the job? I would think that would be best for the long-term plan. Motley would remain the backup and Durkin? would be 3rd string if he doesn't move to TE. By Lawson redshirting, he will have 2-3 years as the starter depending on if/when Evans gets drafted.
Because we were very very deep
Thats how I see it. Good opportunity, especially since any transfer would cost a year of eligibility anyways. (unless he goes down a level)
Redshirt/emergency QB during his first year in Fuente's system, Be the primary backup behind Evans his RS Sophomore year, have 2 years of eligibility and two years in the system under his belt to make his NFL push.
Don't forget that Ricky Walker played decently a true frosh, but took a redshirt last yr due to the depth at the position.
Ladies and Gentlemen lets not forget Steve Sobczak. I'm not sure why he didn't see the field much this year, but every time I saw him (weather it be in the spring game or in mop up duty) the kid was straight owning the interior O-line. Very quick off the ball. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised when this kid gets on the field!
Manuel didn't start full-time until he was a junior -- a little like Tyrod (although the circumstances differed). But he did start some games as a frosh and a soph when Christian Ponder was injured - including the ACC Championship vs VT.
Yea cause Ponder kept getting hurt
I thought ej won 4 bowl games?
A lot of those defensive players I'm not to worried about, Kendall and Dadi are the only real big hits. Woody Baron got a lot of playing time this year and we have Settle coming in there so DT looks good. The secondary was all freshmen other then Faycson and Clark, we should be okay there. Vandyke was injured most of his career and Clarke's play was super erratic this season.
Come to think of it... He may have frozen a DB by looking right that long.
Yea I don't really see a need to play Ladler, especially with him coming off an injury unless we get extremely injury prone again
Is it time for spring ball yet?
