Hokies Running Back Shai McKenzie Disputes Injury Status

Virginia Tech running back Shai McKenzie has fallen off quite a bit since his freshman season in Blacksburg in 2014.

The former three-star recruit out of Washington, Pennsylvania split the workload with J.C. Coleman and Marshawn Williams in his first season with the Hokies, becoming one of the more productive young players on the roster two years ago.

McKenzie appeared in five games prior to tearing his ACL against Western Michigan, and in those five contests, he carried the ball 53 times for 269 yards and three touchdowns. McKenzie was averaging a tick over five yards per carry.
