He was a true freshman in 1995 when the Hokies beat them. He played in 36 games for Martinsville that year, so I assume he left the team early to report for football practice.

So even though you are remembering it like you knew who he was at the time, there's a good chance you didn't, unless you were one of the 0.0001% of people who played close attention to college football recruiting in the mid-90s.

PS: he couldn't hit.
