Virginia Tech football: Hokies hire Jon Tenuta to defensive staff

The Virginia Tech Hokies made a big move on their coaching staff, adding veteran defensive coach Jon Tenuta as a senior defensive analyst.

This is an outstanding move.

First, if the name sounds familiar, it’s because Tenuta’s son, Luke, was Virginia Tech’s starting right tackle in 2020.

Most college football fans will remember Tenuta from his time as defensive coordinator at his alma mater; the University of Virginia.
