Virginia Tech has a long history of brothers playing with each other and moments ago, they added another brother duo to the fold in Blacksburg with the transfer commitment of Wingate cornerback Joseph Reddish, the older brother of safety Quentin Reddish.
The older Reddish entered the transfer portal on December 3 after posting four interceptions, 11 pass break ups, 33 tackles, one sack, and blocking one field goal.
Virginia Tech has hired former West Virginia Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line Coach Matt Moore as team's next Offensive Line Coach.
Moore, whose six seasons in Morgantown, West Virginia included various accolades from a Broyles Award nomination to development of All-American lineman, found himself in a precarious position with the Mountaineers firing of Head Coach Neal Brown.
