Virginia Tech football: Pierson Prioleau is the new safeties coach

Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry's coaching staff is one step closer to being complete after naming former Hokie defensive back Pierson Prioleau as the team's new safeties coach.

Prioleau, who played at Virginia Tech from 1995-98, was a three-year starter for the Hokies and a first-team All-Big East selection in his final season. After an outstanding career in Blacksburg, Prioleau became a fourth-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers, where he spent two seasons. From there, Prioleau would play four seasons in Buffalo, three seasons in Washington, one year in Jacksonville and his final two seasons with the New Orleans Saints, where he won a Super Bowl.
