Hokies Safety Draws Big Comparison

Virginia Tech is in the midst of preparing for the upcoming football season. Frank Beamer and his staff are determining which players will make an immediate impact and who still needs time to develop.

One freshman that might be counted on to contribute sooner rather than later is Adonis Alexander. The 6-foot-3 safety is drawing rave reviews from coaches and comparisons to former Hokie great Kam Chancellor.

Adonis Alexander reminds coaches physically a little bit of Kam Chancellor. "Music to my ears," Adonis said. One of his favorites. #Hokies

Only a few months removed from high school, Alexander is taking every opportunity to prove he deserves to get on the field right away.
