With Virginia Tech set to begin spring drills on March 15, we’re counting down the days here at Tech Sideline by previewing all of the Hokies’ position groups. We did quarterbacks on Wednesday. Now it’s time for the running backs.
Coming and going
Departing (2): Bryce Duke (Old Dominion), Chance Black (portal)
Returning (4): Bhayhsul Tuten (Sr.), Malachi Thomas (r-Jr.), Jeremiah Coney (r-Fr.), Tralon Mitchell (r-Fr.)
Mid-year enrollees (1): Tyer Mason (Fr.)
Summer enrollees: none
What we know
Running backs coach Elijah Brooks was bullish that Tuten would opt for another year of college, though reading the tea leaves with college players is always a difficult task.
