Virginia Tech Football: Shayne Graham Retires from the NFL

Shayne Graham will always be remembered for the kick that defeated West Virginia in the 1999 season. That kick defeated the hated Mountaineers and played a major part in the best season in Virginia Tech history, as the Hokies went on to play in the national championship game.

But Graham’s legacy was much more than that. A four-year starter from the moment he arrived on campus in 1996, Graham broke every school and Big East record during his time with the Hokies.

In his four years in Blacksburg, Shayne connected on 69 field goals, 169 point-after attempts and holds school records for most career points, field goals made in a career, single-season points and numerous other accomplishments.
