BLACKSBURG – No one would mistake Wyatt Teller for the strong and silent type. Strong, no doubt. Virginia Tech’s 6-foot-5, 315-pound senior guard squats nearly 600 pounds.

Silent, though?

“He talks a lot,” said senior tackle Kyle Chung, Teller’s freshman year roommate. “He knows the time and place for it and when to stop. But he’s a jokester for sure.”

Early in his career, Teller was a media darling, a gregarious and outgoing character who always had a funny story to share with reporters looking to add color to articles about Teller or his teammates.
