Virginia Tech football: 17 days til kickoff as we celebrate Kam Chancellor

Today is August 14, 2019, which means we are officially just 17 days away from the Virginia Tech Hokies opening the college football season at Boston College. This is part three of our countdown for No. 17 as earlier today we have celebrated both Shayne Graham and Kyle Fuller. This evening, we honor Kam Chancellor.

Chancellor arrived at Virginia Tech in 2006 as a two-star prospect from Maury High in Norfolk. Chancellor, a big, athletic quarterback in high school, was actually ranked as the 740th overall player in the class of 2006.

Instead of redshirting, Bud Foster saw something special in Chancellor.
