BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech head football coach Justin Fuente answered a question Thursday that he had been receiving throughout August when he named Jérod Evans as the starting quarterback for the Hokies’ season-opening game against Liberty on Sept. 3.
Evans, a redshirt junior from Dallas, Texas, got the nod over redshirt senior Brenden Motley and true freshman Josh Jackson. The trio had been battling for the starting position throughout August, with all receiving a relatively even number of repetitions in practices and scrimmages.
“I’m pleased with all of them,” Fuente said.
