Being a college football coach is a journey and along that journey you will have multiple stops. Each stop rewards you with the blessing of meeting new people, encountering new experiences, but most importantly impacting and touching the lives of multiple young men. My time at Virginia Tech is up and I’m thankful to Coach Brent Pry, my colleagues, Hokie Nation, my current and former players for a memorable experience. I’m excited to see what’s next. #Ap2w

#Recruiting101 “Yesterday 2 NFL position coaches put 2 of our former players through a very extensive, attention to detail workout. Even though both players went to the senior bowl, NFL Combine and performed at our pro day, they did everything the coaches asked, because they want to play in the NFL. It puzzles me how these guys with film against major college competition are willing to do everything, but high school prospects college coaches have never seen play, practice or workout in person refuse to go to camp to workout for coaches and expect committable offers. Don’t get caught up in your recruiting service stars or rankings, because none of those guys rating or ranking you are going to coach you in college. Although you may be a talented player, those ratings and rankings don’t showcase your mentality, movement skills, ball skills, level of intensity, how you perform when you’re tired, how well you listen, how well you respond to coaching, how you compare to other players and all the other things coaches want to see, before they invest in you. Every high school player is in competition with players in the transfer portal who have proven themselves at the college level, don’t allow your ego, getting caught up in things that don’t matter or listening to bad advice to cost you an opportunity. If future pros are required and willing to workout, what makes you as a high school college prospect an exception? When you refuse to workout, it simply leaves a lot of unanswered questions about you. “Expect Nothing, But To Earn Everything.” #Ap2w
