  Virginia Tech running back Jalen Holston is making sure the new staff knows he doesn't want to spend his farewell tour on the sidelines. Holston made a strong first impression on first-year coach Brent Pry as one of the veteran leaders during winter workouts and spring camp. He's happy to mentor the team's many young backs, but he's spent the first two weeks of fall camp pushing to land atop the depth chart for the Hokies' season opener against Old Dominion on Sept. 2. "That's a competitive room," Pry said. "The first thing I want to say is, all those guys have done well, but Holston has really impressed me this summer and [at] this camp. He's been very consistent, which is something we were asking and looking for."

This is the fourth straight season Holston has been in contention for the starting job. He was used sparingly last year after getting 37 carries in the first four weeks of the season. He went seven straight games without a carry and ended the year with 52 carries for 199 yards last season (3.8 yards per carry). His season highs came in the opener against North Carolina with 13 carries for 49 yards (3.8 yards per carry). - Roanoke Times
