Most Valuable Hokie?

There are certain Virginia Tech players I have followed closely. The marquee names have their rightful place in Virginia Tech lore, but my favorites are the grinders. The players that absolutely bust their asses to get better. I love watching guys “grow up” right before my eyes. I took a particular shine to Andrew Motuapuaka. When he first appeared in game action, I was a doubter. Now, I’m a believer. The kid is a playmaker with a real nose for the ball. He visibly got better. He got bigger, stronger, and seemingly faster. Every top notch Bud Foster defense has had a lethal inside linebacker, and I believe Motuapuaka is the next name on that list.
