The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team received some good news Wednesday; Forward Justyn Mutts announced that he was returning for one more season in Blacksburg.
This will be Mutts’ sixth season of college eligibility and third season with the Hokies. Mutts withdrew his name from the NBA draft, paving the way for another year in Blacksburg for the talented forward.
Since the 2021-22 season ended with a loss to Texas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it always felt like Mutts and Keve Aluma would move on. However, in recent weeks, the momentum was building for Mutts’ return to what should be a strong Virginia Tech team next season.
