Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente spoke at this week’s ACC Kickoff in Charlotte and expressed excitement about the upcoming season.
Fuente also talked about several other topics, such as position changes. The head coach talked about redshirt freshman Wilfried Pene moving to defensive end, which we discussed earlier this week. Another freshman is on the move, as Jack Hollifield — Dax’s little brother — is now an offensive lineman, specifically at center.
Pene’s move to defensive end is almost out of necessity, although coaches were intrigued with him there earlier this year. Depth could be an issue at both defensive end and defensive tackle after the recent departures of Alec Bryant and Robert Wooten.
