Interesting that Brumfield made captain in his short time here - not a whole bunch of surprises otherwise. Seven seems like a whole lot of captains

Also, David Cunningham reporting that the Chaplin-Ghannam-B. Moore-K. Moore-Clements line combo continues to get the number one group work on OL.

Note- Thomas Williams is working in the second defensive back group at corner. Note, in our TKPC film review of the secondary, I noted that Williams looked the most polished of the prospective second group of corners.
Mark your calendars, August 21 is the day a chill is in the morning air. Football season is around the corner (Hopefully this lovely air isn't localized to the DMV.) . I'm looking forward to publishing some football content next week and enjoying what stands to be an exciting season.
I went down a rabbit hole on Wikipedia earlier today when I was bored out of my mind at work (eleven days to kickoff, amirite?).
The College Football Hall of Fame Wikipedia page lists a table of "Players by School" and I looked on there and saw VT wasn't listed. I thought this couldn't be right because I remember specifically hearing about Corey Moore and Frank Loria being included. So I went on the list and did a CTRL+F search and found Moore and Loria and a total of 5 players from VT have been inducted. I'm also a little irked that loluva is on the table showing their 5 players yet we aren't on the table.
I know nothing about editing Wikipedia but I guess my questions are:

He was on the Butkus Award watch list. With Drones ability to run between the tackles, this is a big loss.
ESPN published an article about Kalen DeBoer succeeding Nick Saban and Justin Fuente shared some perspective on why it didn't work for him with the Hokies.

Fuente said that Beamer couldn't have been more supportive but that maintaining the right alignment at the university among administrators and others in the department was the most difficult challenge.
The 4* WR out of Mt Tabor, NC chose the Hokies over both UNC and NC State.

Went into their state and got their guy. Huge get for the staff and a big pull the staff to get him to commit over the in state schools.
I stumbled across this in my YouTube feed. Triumph NIL putting out a player-led Podcast. The first came out yesterday, featuring Drones, Jennings, Felton and Lane.

Dorian Strong (88) and Antwuan Powell-Ryland (63) were the only two Hokies named to the top 100.
Ayden Greene was named as a potential Breakout Player not included on the Top 100 list.
Only surprises for me was with all the preseason hype on Drones/Tuten that neither broke the top 100.

I'm going to just throw anything I see in here and I'll definitely breakdown the 11am Pry speech. I hope to get the individual interviews broken down this evening, but feel free to add anything y'all see from media days in the comments.
