Virginia Tech football: 19 days til kickoff with a look back at Danny Coale

Today is August 12, 2019, which means we are officially just 19 days away from the Virginia Tech Hokies opening the college football season at Boston College. Yesterday, we profiled former All-American cornerback Jayron Hosley, who had one of the single greatest seasons for a defensive player in Virginia Tech history back in 2010.

For No. 19, we look back at Danny Coale, one of the greatest receivers in school history. Coale, of course, is best remembered by some for the catch that wasn’t a catch that was really a catch. Yes, he caught it. That one play doesn’t define Coale’s career, though, his body of work was quite impressive.
