Today, in "news we all knew should happen," our 17-foot-tall superhuman tight end received a well-deserved honor:

Congratulations to Bucky on his achievement! I have no doubt that he will be an All-American in years to come if he continues his hard work.

Thoughts on the rest of the team, anyone?

Isaiah should make a couple of these Frosh All-American teams as well, let's hope

too many other WRs put up great numbers this year for this to happen IMO.

Bucky really reaches new heights by getting on this long list of freshmen stars. Tall order indeed. Here's hoping he grows into his new role as a red shirt sophomore in 2015.

Leonard. Duh.

There is nothing in the world like Thursday night in Blacksburg!

Much deserved, as far as the rest of the list, I think Blanding had a mental lapse the day he picked UVA over us.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Hopefully this starts a trend of VT offensive players making these lists. Congrats, Bucky!

Was it All American You Think You Can Dance team?

Oh, no, my bad, football. Go football!

Saw Quin Blanding on there, too. That kid is tight. But no Isaiah Ford. Oversight.

But they had him out of position, he's a QB....oh, wait, I get confused

"Gods gift" truly is God's gift to our football team. Only hope he doesn't declare after next year! Yeah, I think he's that good.

IF he continues to develop his skills and stays injury free he will not be a Hokie in 2016!

That's too bad, I would have liked to have seen him and Drew Harris on the field together.

Should have been the Mackey award recipient, IMO. I might be a little biased though.

If he continues his rate of development that is definitely not out of the realm of possibility for next season!! Just imagine what might happen next year with a healthy and more experienced line!

Just look at his route running, timing, blocking... all improved heavily just this year. Do not underestimate these bowl practices either. I also imagine every QB with a shot to start asking him to do some out of practice work this year. Guy should be an absolute nightmare next year
