Virginia Tech football: Linebacker Alan Tisdale to return in 2023

The 2023 Virginia Tech Hokies received some good news on Wednesday when senior linebacker Alan Tisdale said he’d be returning for his extra “COVID” year of eligibility next season.

Tisdale, the 6-foot-3, 228-pound multi-year starter from Greenboro, missed the first six games of the 2022 season due to an eligibility issue. Andy Bitter of The Athletic confirmed what that issue was recently saying Tisdale self-reported some legal bets he made on the NBA Finals.

Head coach Brent Pry spoke of Tisdale earlier in the season and said the linebacker had his full support in the matter.
