Today is August 19, 2019, which means we are officially just 12 days away from the Virginia Tech Hokies opening the college football season at Boston College. Two weeks from now, we will be discussing what went right (hopefully) or wrong in the season opener against the Eagles.
So, in accordance with our countdown, today we profile No. 12, former quarterback Maurice DeShazo. DeShazo arrived at Virginia Tech as a member of the class of 1990. A four-star recruit from nearby Bassett High in Bassett, Va., DeShazo was ranked as the No. 3 player in the state of Virginia that year and was also a high-school All-American in Tom Lemming’s rankings.
