Hokies set to open 2016 spring practice

New coach Justin Fuente eager to work with a squad that returns 15 starters from the Independence Bowl

BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech’s football coaching staff has accomplished quite a bit in the nearly three months since Justin Fuente assumed the head coaching duties.

Only now, though, do they get to coach football on the field.

Virginia Tech opens its spring practice on Tuesday at 7 p.m. on the practice field adjacent to Lane Stadium. The Hokies will be ushering in a new era, as Fuente takes over for longtime coach Frank Beamer, who retired following the Hokies’ victory over Tulsa in the Independence Bowl.
