The Virginia Tech Hokies wrapped up their first full week of fall camp with a scrimmage Saturday in Lane Stadium. The highlight of Saturday's scrimmage was 359-pound freshman defensive tackle Tim Settle picking off a tipped pass and returning it for about 15 yards, displaying staggering athleticism for a player of his size.
More on Settle later.
The most newsworthy item from Saturday's scrimmage was the amount of players not participating. Dadi Nicolas, Corey Marshall and Wade Hansen were among the starters who sat out nursing various ailments. Several backups also sat out, too, allowing some younger players the opportunity to step in and get some valuable practice reps.
