Danny Wheel doesn't remember exactly who gave him his nickname, but after everything he went through to become a scholarship football player for the Hokies, it was certainly well-earned.
"I guess it was in practice," Wheel said. "I might have made a good play and Cornell [Brown] called me The Wheel Deal. It was either Cornell or Lawrence Lewis. Actually it was probably Lawrence Lewis, because he made a nickname up for everybody. One of the funniest guys I've ever met in my life is Lawrence Lewis."
