Virginia Tech running back Shai McKenzie will not return to the program, and plans on transferring after graduating this summer, the rising redshirt-junior announced on Twitter on Thursday evening.
McKenzie’s career at Virginia Tech will always be remembered for what could have been. McKenzie entered into the fold as a true freshman in 2014, becoming a valuable member of a three-headed monster at running back consisting of Marshawn Williams, J.C. Coleman, and himself.
The Washington, Pennsylvania native McKenzie rushed for 269 yards in five games that season, before suffering a torn right ACL in the Hokies’ 35-17 win that season.
