BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente announced Thursday that freshman punter Oscar Bradburn has earned the distinction of wearing Frank Beamer’s No. 25 jersey for this Saturday’s homecoming game against North Carolina.
This weekend’s game will mark the first time the Sydney, Australia native has received this prestigious honor and will be only the second time a true freshman has received it. Thanks to Bradburn, Tech ranks third in the ACC with a 41.7-yard net punting average. The Hokies have also allowed a mere four punt return yards on the season.
