Virginia Tech football spring preview: Defensive backs

The Virginia Tech Hokies have long been known for having one of the best secondaries in the nation. Since Tech’s rise to prominence in 1993, the Hokies have generally always had a strong secondary that saw multiple players go on to play in the NFL.

Whether it was the 90s that featured Tyrone Drakeford, Antonio Banks, Torrian Gray, Pierson Prioleau and Ike Charlton, among others, to the 2000s with DeAngelo Hall, Eric Green, Kam Chancellor and the Fuller brothers, the Virginia Tech secondary was always loaded with talent and a mindset that embodied defensive coordinator Bud Foster’s philosophy to a tee.
