Basketball player hopes to make an impact on the gridiron this fall
BLACKSBURG – When asked which was tougher – surviving a Buzz Williams boot camp or a Virginia Tech football practice – Devin Wilson, a point guard masquerading as a receiver these days, decided to run a different route.
“Let’s just say they’re different,” he said, laughing.
Two weeks after Tech’s basketball season ended this past March, Wilson was on the football field participating in the program’s spring practice. Williams, the Hokies’ basketball coach, and Justin Fuente, the new football coach, came to an understanding and allowed Wilson an opportunity to become the school’s latest two-sport athlete.
