Josh Jackson impresses in Virginia Tech debut, and there's a reason why
Josh Jackson took a phone call last week from a guy offering a few words of encouragement and advice. The guy on the other line was Tom Brady.
No big deal.
"He just called me and it was awesome. That’s about it," Jackson said sheepishly after leading the Hokies to a big win over West Virginia on Sunday night.
What you need to know about that phone call is not what Brady said. What you need to know is why Brady called, and what that means for a Virginia Tech football program that has seemingly found a star in the making.
