"Thanks to Coach Beamer, his assistants and many talented student-athletes, Virginia Tech has become synonymous with special teams success," Fuente said. "When opposing coaches and fans hear the term Hokies, the first thing that pops into the many of their minds is blocked punts and big plays in the kicking game. Coach Beamer revolutioned the college game by putting such a priority on special teams. With his blessing, we'll honor a player every week and pay homage to the tradition of excellence at Virginia Tech by allowing them to wear Coach Beamer's No. 25 jersey in that week's game."
Continue to be so impressed with the ways Justin Fuente has continued to keep Frank Beamer + his legacy part of the program.— Andrea Adelson (@aadelsonESPN) August 29, 2016
Nice move by Fuente: #VaTech's special teams player of the week will wear #25 as a tribute to Frank Beamer and his legacy of ST excellence.— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) August 29, 2016

maybe UVA will try to follow suit (as they so often do) and Bronco will issue a statement that each week he'll award one of his players the opportunity to call a time out at an inopportune time during a game...or perhaps after the game...or during the coin-flip...any time really...doesn't matter.
Sam Rogers said he would love to wear it. Make it happen Fuente.
I guess it will be up to Sam Rogers to make it happen, but I expect we'll see him there.
Sam to special teams confirmed? Returning kicks with Settle?
Good point. I hope so.
If Rogers doesn't get it once this year, I'll be disappointed.
