"I was born into being a Hokie because my mom went there."
Doll-Hennis was invited to attend Virginia Tech's camp for juniors in late spring but opted not to go.
"I wanted to let my body mature more, I guess," he said. "Let's see how this year goes. Last year, I played basketball, but I don't think I'm going to play basketball this year. I'm going to focus on the weight room and see what camps I get invited to and try to go from there."

Rockbridge County standout acing the school of hard knocks

Rockbridge County junior Adam Doll-Hennis learned toughness from his older brother and from his dad, Steve Doll, a former hockey enforcer.

@HokiesJournal: #Hokies say WR DJ Coles has been in a sleeve (instead of knee brace) the past 3 practices. Sounds like he's progressing.

@DDoughtyOnAir (Doug Doughty): Cavs not confident about DL Wyatt Teller. Can confirm that. Teller, down to Virginia Tech and UVa, informs teams of his decision tonight.

This was tweeted about an hour ago. Doug seems a little out of touch these days as evidenced when he believes Teller will make his decision.

@VT_Football: Nice night for Jarrett Boykin in a preseason game for the Packers. Led the team with 5 catches for 63 yards, including a 25-yarder. #Hokies

I share Chris's excitement. I think we could be pulling in the kind of talent we need to make a serious run.

He had a couple really good pre-season games last year. Especially the one with Ray Lewis doing the commentary. So, if he is ahead, that is really good. I would love to see him playing now in the regular season, but he is in a great spot to learn and develop. His day will definitely come.
Nice diplomatic answer on the helmets. Really need to see them with the full uniform. Haaaa

Yeah, the Ravens have been quiet on the talks about utilizing Taylor more in the regular season. They have something planned, so it will be interesting to see come 9/10

Mark Giannotto ‏@mgiannotto
In regards to potentially redshirting David Watford if he's not the starting QB, London says "all options are on the table right now."
Just my opinion, but that sounds like Mikey is preparing to move Sims to at least 2nd string.
