BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech Athletics confirmed Thursday that student-athlete Devin Wilson intends to compete for both the football and men’s basketball squads during the 2016-17 academic year.
Per NCAA rules, the appropriate paperwork is being processed to transfer Wilson’s financial aid agreement from the basketball squad to football.
“Devin is a terrific athlete who really wants to compete for both programs,” head football coach Justin Fuente said. “Coach Williams and I both believe that Devin can balance his academic workload with the demands of both sports. We’re anxious to see Devin continue to develop his skills at receiver and are hopeful that he can help us this season before returning to the basketball court upon the completion of our season.
