BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Every time a coach would thump down into his living room couch, Fred Facyson had the same opening question. What, he'd ask, did they believe was the toughest part about the transition to college.

This was 2010 and 2011, back when Fred's son, Brandon Facyson, was a rising star on the recruiting trail as both a receiver and a defensive back. At 6-foot-2 -- a legit 6-2, his father is quick to point out -- with a quick first step and sure hands, Brandon was a recruiter's dream.
