Virginia Tech football: Devon Hunter is back

The Virginia Tech Hokies have reinstated safety Devon Hunter, per a statement by head coach Justin Fuente on the VT football Twitter account.

“In accordance with Virginia Tech student-conduct protocols and in conjunction with Virginia Tech Athletics administration, Devon Hunter has been cleared to return to the Virginia Tech football program effective immediately,” the statement read.

“Devon has demonstrated remorse for his actions and understands the expectations for him going forward. He recognizes and appreciates the opportunity to return to the program.”

Hunter, who was suspended indefinitely last fall just before the Hokies began the 2020 season and charged with one felony and one misdemeanor related to a domestic issue, reached a plea agreement last month, where he expressed remorse for his actions.
