Overton better beef up if he is to be an every down back.

Hawkins is worth keeping. He is a good receiver and decent blocker as well. All around back.

Good news. I'm not convinced Hawkins will stay at VT.

Great combo for sure. Difference is Overton has elite speed**
MKD 12/18/25 02:54 PM ET
Hawkins has earned the money. Pay him!**
VT ChemE 1986 12/17/25 11:16 AM ET
I agree, but I don't think he'll overpay to keep him. Just my opinion
MKD 12/17/25 11:53 AM ET
running backs have low NIL compared to a QB and WR
VaTechie 12/17/25 07:55 PM ET
He is poised for a break out season!**
EDGEMAN 12/17/25 10:27 AM ET
One of main players I hoped would stay. Should be a gr8 tandem w/ Messiah!!**
HoakieBS 12/17/25 10:08 AM ET
Good news**

I just pray his dad and uncle stay away... they are trouble!**

I coached both of them in high school.
ForgeHokie 12/17/25 07:19 PM ET
They didn't cause any trouble this season, as far as I know
Zanderhokie 12/17/25 02:02 PM ET
Maybe........

Yeah, I was concerned about this before and bought it up on the board and
SCHokie1103 12/17/25 11:27 AM ET
You say this why? You know them personally?**

Overton is special
TekkNerd 12/17/25 08:50 AM ET
We have another for next year
crazylane 12/17/25 09:51 AM ET
He looks like a good back, but he's not at all similar to David Wilson IMO.**
marcbvtgm 12/17/25 09:00 AM ET
I see him as more Brandon Ore
Hokiefied 12/17/25 12:50 PM ET
Certainly more like Ore than Wilson
marcbvtgm 12/17/25 03:50 PM ET
Yep- David was a straight ahead ball of lightning
tallahasseehokie 12/17/25 09:54 AM ET
Overton is more of a natural RB. Wilson wasn't but was a unicorn athlete**
marcbvtgm 12/17/25 11:06 AM ET
David Wilson draft video NY GIANTS**
tallahasseehokie 12/17/25 12:34 PM ET
Enjoyed it. He was great.**
BigDaddyHokie 12/17/25 05:21 PM ET
Can only fault him for running backwards 25 yards in Sugar Bowl vs
HoakieBS 12/17/25 10:03 AM ET
Oof...thanks for the reminder. There's some trauma with that one.**
Hokie622 12/17/25 10:19 AM ET
Prolly reason we lost, besides Coale caught the BALL!!!
HoakieBS 12/17/25 12:27 PM ET
That is very good news because he’s going to be a good one if he can stay
SCHokie1103 12/17/25 08:30 AM ET
He needs to bulk up some.**
likehokies 12/17/25 09:09 AM ET
Well, of course he does but he also needs to stay injury free. I’m sure.
SCHokie1103 12/17/25 11:18 AM ET
Very good news**
