Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente releases statement on Caleb Farley’s comments

It was a strange Monday morning around Virginia Tech as former All-ACC cornerback Caleb Farley spoke to NBC’s Peter King in his Football Morning in America column and had a few things to say about his alma mater.

Farley, of course, became the first college football player to opt out of the 2020 season due to concerns about COVID-19. Farley, entering his redshirt junior season, lost his mother to breast cancer in 2018 and was concerned about the upcoming season.

In King’s column, Farley spoke at length about why he opted out of the 2020 season.
