Pro day at Virginia Tech is occurring on Friday March 26th and these are the participants.
I'll try and keep it updated with any reps, times etc that are posted.

Virginia Tech announces it will not hold a spring game this year due to COVID-19 precautions. The decision was made after consultation with campus officials and using local and state guidelines. #Hokies will instead just have a 15th spring practice.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) March 23, 2021
Live look at Fuente when he realized he could get out of all that pesky fan interaction and "opening up the program for the fans"
Was looking at Mel Kiper's most recent Draft Board and he had Farley going 12th to the 49ers, but at the bottom mentioned Farley is scheduled for back surgery this week. Going to be interested to see if it impacts his stock any.
Darrisaw in that Draft Board was 19th to The Washington Football team.
For those who don't know, Kevin Kelley is a high school football coach in Arkansas who kicks onside kicks after every score, almost nevers punts, and often opts for 2 pt conversions over PATs. In 18 years as head coach, he's 216-29-1.
Andy Staples is lobbying for him to get the Kansas job, and had him on the show to talk about his coaching style, how he uses analytics, and all sorts of stuff:
There are too many great life lessons and anecdotes to summarize, so it's worth watching the entire interview. From a football perspective, it was interesting to hear Frank's assessment of why the Hokies came up short against Florida State in the national championship.
With a salary cap hit of $20M, this was always a possibility. Now, reality. Kyle Fuller immediately becomes one of the top free agents available. https://t.co/nWDYDOXLHF— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 18, 2021
He is one of the best free agency options out there. Maybe he can get on an all around competitive team.

I've always liked Cornell. When I was a third grader, I got to go to Beamer's house after a game and hangout with a bunch of the coaches. I spent most of the time there with Cornell. Great guy. Told me all kinds of stories and never acted annoyed even though I asked about a million questions.
Some things he talks about is:
- His recruitment to Tech
- Beating Texas in the 1995 Sugar Bowl
- Playing on the 2000 Ravens best of all-time defense
- What it was like coaching under Nick Saban and Frank Beamer
- Coaching and leadership tips.

Christian Darrisaw, Divine Deablo, Caleb Farley, and Khalil Herbert all earned invites to the 2021 NFL Scouting Combine, which will actually take place during the individual schools' pro days.
What ultimately ended up being some of the main factors that led you to pursue other roads in your college career?
"I graduated early and still had some years of eligibility. I had been at Virginia Tech and did everything I told them I was going to do. I stayed and finish school and after that I felt like it was time for new beginnings. A lot of the guys out of my recruiting class that came in there with me pretty much left, so it was only about a handful of guys that I came in with that were still there. Just sitting down and having a conversation with my family we felt that it was best to split ways."

Jon Laaser sits down with the Head Coach to discuss Braxton Burmeister's development, bringing Jaden Payoute back into the mix, and the new batch of players brought in from the transfer portal.
Great interview with Ryan Smith. He's another guy I'd love to hear more from in the program. Seems really on top of it in a number of ways. I think the DBs are in great hands.
