Darius Redman moves to the Offensive Line

Lost in the shuffle of March Madness this afternoon was this tweet by Mr. Redman:

Depth was, and remains to be, a concern this offseason and it looks like the coaching staff is taking steps to get some more bodies on the OL.

Per his current page on HokieSports, he is 6'4" and 271lbs. Throw on another 20 lbs and you've got an athletic tackle. Obviously that's not always a simple task, but you get the idea.

2015 Virginia Tech Pro Day

Tech holds their pro day today, March 18th. I assume unfortunately like the ones in the past it's closed to the media. But if you get any #sources with info or find articles post them here. Also why does VT close the pro day to the media when many other schools open them up? Even ESPN/Fox sports shows done from other pro days.

Defensive quality control hire has been made!

Tonight at the Pulaski County Hokie Club recruit night, Bud Foster stated that Joe Perri has been hired. He stated Joe was a ga and that he played his college ball at Pitt.

Edit- I haven't been able to find any info on the guy, so maybe that's his nickname or what the staff calls him not sure but this is who Bud stated was hired.

VT is only ACC school with a 2,500 yard passer in each of the last 5 YRS

I read this on the ESPN blog and the stat blew me away. Here is the link: http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/80788/which-conference-produces-th...

I thought this was interesting since It wasn't long ago most associated VT football with great defense and a smashmouth offense. Obviously things have changed but I was still shocked when I saw this. The first 2 years of this streak the program had successful seasons: 1 ACC championship, 2 BCS bowl losses*. We also had fairly balanced offenses with productive RBs (Wilson, Williams, Evans). The last three years we.... (I don't remember, I blacked out).

Trevon Hill tears ACL

Per a report from Evan Watkins at 24/7 (free):

Bad news for our DE depth. Hill looked to be a very promising prospect at a position of need. Now sidelined for the year before spring ball even starts. Sorry to share bad news on a day when we're celebrating baseball victories.

Trevon will redshirt and rehab this year. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
