Co-Host, Hokie Hoops
As a first generation Hokie, I can't say that Virginia Tech has always been in my blood, but I can say unequivocally that I bleed maroon and orange now. I graduated from the Pamplin College of Business in 2015 with a double major in accounting and finance, and have parlayed that into a five-year career in government compliance consulting in the Washington D.C. metro area where I grew up. At Tech, I enjoyed going to as many sporting events as I could, playing four years for the Club Golf team, and realizing my passion for writing and creating content.
I have previously written for Gobbler Country on the SB Nation network, Fighting Gobbler for Fansided, InsideTheACC.com, The Tech Lunch Pail, and most recently for Sports Illustrated's All Hokies, where I was the lead publisher.
In addition to writing, I am also co-host of Basketball Conference: The ACC Football Podcast and the Hokie Hangover Podcast covering Virginia Tech athletics.
I'm passionate about Virginia Tech, but also hope to bring an objective and journalistic background to enhance the already fantastic athletic coverage here at Sons of Saturday.

On November 22nd, 2020, less than 24 hours after Virginia Tech's debilitating 47-14 loss at Heinz Field to the Pittsburgh Panthers, I penned an article for this website titled "It's Over" . At the time, I wrote the following: Regardless of whether or not Justin Fuente is the coa…
Notre Dame 32 Virginia Tech 29. It was another primetime night game at Lane Stadium, and save for the North Carolina opener to start this season, a result that's become all too common for Virginia Tech in nationally televised "big" home games under the Justin Fuente regime. When…
It's not the "what" it's the "how". That was my takeaway on Saturday afternoon, as #15 Virginia Tech fell to the West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown by a final score of 27-21. This was not the worst loss of the Justin Fuente era at Virginia Tech - not even close, actually -…
Heading into the 2021 season, there were concerns about Virginia Tech's ability to withstand injuries to a number of position groups, including quarterback, linebacker, offensive line, and defensive end. The one position group that was not a significant concern from a depth stan…
The Virginia Tech Hokies defeated the #10 North Carolina Tar Heels by a final score of 17-10 last Friday night. While the defense impressed and was the key reason why the Hokies were able to pull off the upset in Lane Stadium, there was also encouraging play out of Tech quarterb…
There wasn't much to complain about in Virginia Tech's 17-10 season-opening upset of #10 North Carolina on Friday night, but if we were to pick one disappointment, it would be in sophomore running back Keshawn King. King burst onto the scene as a change-of-pace back as a true fr…
As Virginia Tech opens the season on Friday night against #10 North Carolina in Blacksburg, there are plenty of questions surrounding the Tech program and its ability to compete in the football game. Sure, Virginia Tech is a 5.5-point underdog, which is not bad at all for a squa…
In case you live under a rock, Virginia Tech football opens its 2021 campaign on Friday night against tenth-ranked North Carolina at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg. The Hokies enter this tilt as a 5.5-point underdog, with a fair share of questions surrounding the program's ability t…
Virginia Tech Director of Recruiting Beau Davidson, who was recently promoted to the position with the Hokies, is expected to resign to take a job on the Texas Tech football staff, a source told Sons of Saturday. When reached on Tuesday morning, a Virginia Tech spokesperson decl…
Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente and a handful of assistants and players met with the media on Thursday afternoon, as the Hokies formally kicked off the second week of fall camp. After six consecutive practices dating back to last Thursday, as well as a mandated off day an…
When Virginia Tech concluded its 2021 recruiting cycle, many criticized the coaching staff for putting a priority on the pursuit of prospects from Texas over the security of commitments in and around the state of Virginia. The criticism was fair, as the Hokies failed to secure s…
Virginia Tech football officially kicked off its 2021 football season on Wednesday, as the program hosted its first in-person media day in two years at the Beamer-Lawson Indoor Practice Facility in Blacksburg. With the COVID-riddled 2020 football season in the rearview mirror an…
Virginia Tech offensive lineman and team captain Tyrell Smith will utilize his extra year of eligibility and will return to the Hokies this fall. Smith confirmed the news to Sons of Saturday on Wednesday after informing the team that he would be returning to the fold. The return…

Well, well, well...we have a new internet rumor surrounding Virginia Tech's head football coach. A tweet circulated on the timeline on Wednesday morning, linking Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente to Kansas' open head coaching job. Receiving multiple reports that #VirginiaTe…
The week before Christmas has been an eventful one for Virginia Tech football. Following last Saturday's regular season finale, one that ended in an emphatic 33-15 victory over in-state rival Virginia, all eyes remained on Blacksburg, with the future of head coach Justin Fuente …
December 15th, 2020 - 1 PM ET. This is the moment that Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Whit Babcock officially tied his legacy to embattled head football coach Justin Fuente. After weeks of speculation, criticism, and an on-field product that has consistently fallen short of…
In an unexpected trying season for the Virginia Tech Hokies on the field, there is still something to play for: The Commonwealth Cup. Nothing else matters when 4-6 Virginia Tech takes the field against 5-4 Virginia in Lane Stadium on Saturday night. Can the Hokies reclaim the Cu…
After a bye week over Thanksgiving following an uninspired effort against Pittsburgh, the 4-5 Virginia Tech Hokies welcome undefeated and #3 Clemson to Blacksburg. Most expect this game to go a certain way for the home team, but others expect a surprise. Let's get into the picks…
It's over. The Justin Fuente-led Virginia Tech Hokies listlessly lost to the mediocre Pittsburgh Panthers 47-14 on Saturday at Heinz Field. The issues from Saturday's game were similar to those that we've seen plague Virginia Tech for most of the year. The offense looked lost wi…
