Virginia Tech backer Tremaine Edmunds got the nod as a first team linebacker on Campus Insiders' 2016 Sophomore All-American Team.
Physically, the Hokies believe they could have their next Xavier Adibi in Blacksburg. Edmunds took a big step toward fulfilling lofty expectations in 2016. He has the frame of a budding defensive end, 6-foot-5 and 236 pounds, to go along with the range to fly all over the field to make plays. Edmunds is still learning the cerebral side of the game, yet parlayed 99 tackles, 17 stops for loss, 4.5 sacks and nine hurries into Second Team All-ACC honors.
It's certainly not the oldest or most prestigious of the post-season All-American teams, and it's limited to just sophomores, but it's well deserved recognition for one of the top up-and-comer defenders in the ACC. Additionally, Phil Steele placed Edmunds on his first team All-ACC squad. The Danville, Virginia product also made the ACSMA and coaches' All-ACC second teams.
