10/23/20 - CB Dorian Strong, rSr/2025, Virginia Tech

Tech freshman cornerback Dorian Strong has also played an unexpectedly key role in the secondary with the Hokies missing at least one scholarship corner in each of their first four games. Strong's first career start came in Week 2 when he was the only scholarship cornerback available. He was back in the starting lineup against Boston College with Jeramine Waller out of the lineup. The Maryland native went under the radar on the recruiting trail with his size - he's listed at 6-foot-0, 174-pounds - scaring most Power 5 teams off. The Hokies had no such reservations after seeing him play at one of their summer camps. Tech thought Strong would have time to develop coming into the season with All-ACC corners Caleb Farley and Jermaine Waller, but Farley opted out and Waller's lingering foot injury limited him throughout the season.

Strong, who has seven tackles (six solo) with a team-high three pass breakups, hasn't played like a typical freshman. "I think Dorian Strong is just a big-time player, and he works really hard at practice every day," Virginia Tech safety Divine Deablo said. "He's going to be big time. I already know. I can see it in his eyes. He comes to work and I think that has the biggest impact on him." Devin Taylor echoed Deablo's thoughts. "The biggest thing I see in him is just the confidence he has in himself," Taylor said. "He really has confidence in himself and like even in practice if he gets a ball caught on him he'll come back the next play and won't let it happen. He really just has a lot of confidence in himself really." - Roanoke Times
