dcunna says he'll play DE

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

I'm sure some creative attorney can figure out a way to get at least 2 years of eligibility

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

Shouldn't he get an extra year, on account of the JUCO?

Works at Vanderbilt.

all jokes aside- yes. The lawsuit ruled that any and all JUCO years do not count for eligibility. Pretty clear he has that many years left if he wants them.

he has played at the FBS level for three years already, hasn't redshirted. seems likely he's only eligible to play for us because of getting his freshman JUCO year back in eligibility

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

So in other words he has 3 years eligibility remaining

I said MIKE, and I continue to say MIKE even if his pass coverage grades are trash (and tape validates that.)

1) He is exactly what they need in run fits at the MIKE spot. Maybe the new DC will also consider blitzing the MIKE instead of the STAR every time, god forbid they surprise the OC once in a while.

2) Brent Pry's last MIKE at Penn State was also the backup DE, so there is some positional flexibility. https://gopsusports.com/sports/football/roster/season/2021/player/jesse-...

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

yeah you couldn't play DE for Bud or Charlie if you couldn't run like a gazelle. This guy doesn't run like a gazelle. I don't see DE at all unless we are going to switch to a 3-4.

He's violent I don't care where he gets on the field.

(add if applicable) /s

I mean, Emus did beat the Australian Army.

They love violence.

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

EMU players are salty. This team could use some salt

His social handle is "Da Ginger Freak". I like the edge.

Are we sure we don't want him at LB?

Go Spartans!

@historyhokie.bsky.social

I'm a Spartan myself...grew up right across the street from the high school@

As an adult, I lived for 2 years in Orange Hunt.

We kicked Orange Hunts ass, but I'm not gonna mention what my swim teams mascot was

Outside it's night time, but inside it's LeDay

My guesses are either Stingrays or Ospreys

Same here, actually one time my senior year I heard the early bell from my house and still made it to class on time.

Sherborn Lane?

Maaaybe........ /s

Lived on Sherborn from 1967-1979 (was at VT from 75-79). Cardinal Forest to Washington Irving to WSHS.

It was actually a brand-new development when we first moved there. Forrester didn't even connect to Carleigh Pkway in those early days. It was all woods right after Cardinal Forest.

We moved there in '75 when I was at CFES and my folks still live there. Area has changed so much.

Nice! Ahhh, the stories I could tell about building tree forts & partying in the woods behind CFES, as well as all the townhouses being built at Tivoli. That construction site was our playground.

I was Cardinal Forest to Irving to WSHS to VT pipeline as well! A little bit later, though :P

@historyhokie.bsky.social

BOOOOOOO

Outside it's night time, but inside it's LeDay

And his last name is pronounced, Kevin.

This got a good giggle out of me.

We need all the bodies we can get lets hope a good many are legit contributors

jeff sykes

Will he be a DE or LB? It looks like Bass will be a LB and this guy will be a DE.

FIRST DOWN, HOKIES!

that's correct based on what i've seen

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

If Bass doesn't add some weight could he go back to safety?

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

This guy looks like a (Sin)bad mother.....(shit your mouth)

"Nooooooooooo!"
~What happened?
"James Franklin to Virginia Tech...."

"Oh my God.... They're gonna take all our recruits... like WTF bro...."

(shit your mouth)

LOL was this a typo or intentional?

Can't we just enjoy it either way?

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Umm, dealers choice, it works either way haha
