  Virginia Tech defensive lineman Desmond Mamudi (knee), linebacker Will Johnson (shoulder) and walk-on receiver William Kakavitsas (knee) are out for the season, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Mamudi and Johnson, who were both three-star signees out of the 2021 signing class, recently each had surgery. The injury to Mamudi leaves the Hokies with only four scholarship defensive tackles going into the fall. He was the team's lone signee at defensive tackle in the last recruiting cycle. The next options on the line are likely walk-on tackles Maxx Philpott and Nigel Simmons as third-team defensive lineman. Kakavitsas had put himself in position to earn some reps this fall at receiver. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder out of Providence High School is a third-year player. He redshirted in 2019 and played in nine games on special teams last fall. - Roanoke Times
