Virginia Tech released a new spring roster yesterday, and as usual the first thing I did was look at the updated weights. In part of today’s article, I want to focus in on the weight changes on the defensive line. I also want to discuss Devon Hunter playing whip, and Justin Fuente’s comments about some of the older players in his secondary.
Defensive Ends
The Tech coaches confirmed what we all expected: that Vinny Mihota would move inside to defensive tackle for his senior season. That leaves playing time up for grabs at defensive end. We know Trevon Hill (r-Jr.) and Houshun Gaines (r-Jr.) are the likely starters, and Emmanuel Belmar (r-So.) saw the field last season as well.
