GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Tuesday that Virginia Tech football student-athletes Andrew Motuapuaka (pronounced mo-TOO-uh-poo-WAH-kuh) and Cam Phillips will join head coach Justin Fuente at the 2017 ACC Football Kickoff on July 14 at the Westin Charlotte located in Charlotte, N.C.
Fuente earned consensus ACC Coach of the Year honors in 2016, guiding the Hokies to a 10-4 record and the ACC Coastal Division title in his initial season in Blacksburg. Dating back to the 1999 season when Frank Beamer coached Virginia Tech to its first-ever 11-win season and a berth in the national championship game, only Oklahoma (14) has registered more seasons with double-digit victories than Virginia Tech (12).
