Virginia Tech has always been a place that has won with walk-ons and three stars – guys who weren’t satisfied, hungry to be great, had something to prove, and did everything with a chip on their shoulder.
I have always worked hard since I could remember. I think I got that from my parents, who were both hard workers. Looking back at how I was recruited out of high school, being a three star, overlooked because of my lack of size, Virginia Tech took a gamble on me. They were the first school that offered me a scholarship.
