Virginia Tech football: Hokies land transfer DE from Nebraska

Springtime has arrived, and the weather was terrific in the New River Valley this past weekend as the Virginia Tech Hokies hosted an open practice for the opening of spring practice.

It was the perfect weather for the Hokies to host fans and recruits. The last time recruits were on campus was in January, and there was snow on the ground in Blacksburg.

With such a lovely weekend, there must be some good news to follow, right?

On Monday afternoon, that good news arrived when defensive end Pheldarius Payne announced he was transferring from Nebraska to Virginia Tech.
