Defensive Backfield: The Hokies' “One O’Clock Jump”

Defensive Back University is looking more like Defensive Back Community College for this Spring.  Please, don’t take this the wrong way.  The observation is purely an academic level oriented.  With twelve of 18 roster positions being held by Sophomores and Freshman, and  exactly one Senior on the entire squad (a true Senior, not a Redshirt) one would think that there is no depth in Torrien Gray’s group.

One would have the wrong impression.  There are sixteen seasons of playing experience on that list of 18 players.  This squad is deep, talented, and above all EXPERIENCED.  Okay, we have to account for the ace starting left and right cornerbacks Brandon Facyson and Kendall Fuller are rehabbing injuries this Spring so they won’t see playing time.
