Virginia Tech wide receiver Kaleb Smith earned ACC wide receiver of the week honors on Monday for his performance in Saturday’s loss to Pittsburgh.
The 6-foot-2, 222-pound senior from Louisa, Virginia, caught nine passes for 152 yards, both career highs for Smith. Unfortunately for Smith, he left the game with an injury before he could add to his lofty numbers.
Smith leads the Hokies in every receiving category and has 25 receptions for 402 yards and two touchdowns on the season. He is averaging over 16 yards per reception. Smith’s performance Saturday also ensured he set career highs for receptions and receiving yards in a season, and the Hokies have six games remaining this season.
