A day after linebacker Tavante Beckett was suspended indefinitely, cornerback Adonis Alexander was left behind when the Hokies made their trip down to East Carolina. In a statement released through the football team’s Twitter page, coach Justin Fuente made it clear that Alexander has “not lived up to expectations”.

It is unknown if the two suspensions are related, but it is worth noting that Beckett’s offense was marijuana-related. Alexander missed one game in 2016 for a possession charge.
