12/28/20 - Jarrod Hewitt, rSr/2021, Virginia Tech, 6-1, 290 (DS#34 DT) + More +

Virginia Tech defensive tackle Jarrod Hewitt won't be coming back for a sixth season. The NCAA granted all fall student-athletes an extra year of eligibility in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Hewitt declared for the NFL Draft on Saturday night with a post on social media. Fellow Tech defenders Justus Reed, Rayshard Ashby and Divine Deablo have made similar announcements in recent weeks. Hewitt said coming back had "crossed his mind" when he spoke to reporters on Dec. 1, but was waiting until after the season to make a final decision. The defender was a three-year starter for Tech - he only missed two games the last three years - and finished his collegiate career with 92 tackles (42 solo) with 17.5 for a loss and 9.5 sacks. - Roanoke Times

He finished his career with 294 tackles (156 solo) - he led the team in tackling in 2018 and 2019 - with 34 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and five forced fumbles. - Roanoke Times

12/21/20 - *Christian Darrisaw, rJr/2021, Virginia Tech, 6-5, 322 (DS#2 OT) + More +

Virginia Tech offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw is headed to the NFL. Many NFL draft analysts are projecting the 6-foot-5, 314-pound junior to be a first round pick. The junior posted a lengthy message to fans on social media outlining his decision on Friday. Darrisaw only missed two games in his career - he started 34 of the team's last 36 games the last three years - and was named honorable mention All-ACC in 2019. Former wide receiver Holmon Wiggins was instrumental in bringing Darrisaw to the attention of Tech's coaching staff. "It got to a point where I was like this dude is a no-brainer," Wiggins told The Roanoke Times in 2018. "We knew he was going to be a little green from the standpoint of playing the position, but he's big, he's athletic, he's strong and when he starts to figure it out it can be scary how good he can be."

After a brief stint at Fork Union, Darrisaw arrived in Blacksburg for the 2018 season and immediately earned the starting job. He shut down talented Florida State defensive end Brian Burns in his debut. Burns finished second in the league that year with 10 sacks. Tech's staff continually praised Darrisaw's consistency and his toughness. "He has been an absolute warrior," Fuente said earlier this season. "He basically played over a half a year on one foot a couple years ago." - Roanoke Times

The redshirt junior recorded at least four receptions in every game this season.

For the season, Blue ranked second in the conference in receptions per game (6.8) while also ranking in the top five in touchdowns per game (0.8). - Temple Football

The free year implemented for the 2020 season has opened the door for current seniors across the country to return for the 2021 season. However, many are declining to do so with Justus Reed publicly doing so earlier this week and Oscar Bradburn following in his footsteps. Bradburn has had a solid senior season with an average of 43 yards per punt, the second best in his career, to go with 17 of 37 punts being fair caught and 12 punts being downed inside the 20. - Tech Lunch Pail

12/12/20 - Khalil Herbert, rSr/2021, Virginia Tech, 5-09, 210 (DS#18 RB) + More +

Khalil Herbert ran for 162 yards, including a 76-yard touchdown, and Virginia Tech ended a four-game slide with a 33-15 victory against rival Virginia on Saturday night. The Hokies (5-6, 5-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) also got a big play from Tayvion Robinson, who turned a short pass from Braxton Burmeister into a 60-yard TD, a scoring run from wide receiver Tre Turner and four field goals from Brian Johnson to regain the Commonwealth Cup. Virginia (5-5, 4-5) had its four-game win streak end. The Cavaliers drove 75 yards for a touchdown and a 7-3 lead with their first possession, but managed just 71 yards the rest of the half while the Hokies scored all five times they had the ball to lead 27-7 at halftime.

Turner's 6-yard run capped a 17-play drive to give the Hokies a 10-7 lead, and after Johnson's second field goal and a Virginia punt, Herbert bolted off the right side and raced untouched down the center of the field for his longest run of the season. On Virginia Tech's next possession, with halftime looming, Burmeister hit Robinson along the Hokies sideline, he spun away from cornerback De'Vante Cross and raced down the sideline, scoring 31 seconds before the half. - Virginia Tech/AP College Football
