Virginia Tech running back Kenji Christian is no longer listed on the online roster. The news was first reported by 247Sports. A rising redshirt sophomore, Christian never played a snap for the Hokies in two seasons in Blacksburg.
Assuming the departure is permanent, Virginia Tech now has five scholarship running backs on the roster this spring…
Bhayshul Tuten (5-11, 200, Jr.)
Malachi Thomas (6-0, 206, r-So.)
Chance Black (6-1, 190, r-So.)
Bryce Duke (5-11, 205, So.)
Jeremiah Coney (6-0, 189, Fr.)
Those players are supplemented by walkons PJ Prioleau (5-11, 163, r-So.) and Khiari Miller (5-10, 257, r-Fr.). Another true freshman scholarship running back, Tralon Mitchell, will enroll this summer.
