Travon McMillian. Anxious to see how he fits in with the VT offense, I think that when his time comes to get touches he's really going to make a lot of big plays for the Hokies. Watched him play many games in high school; his speed, versatility, and ability to lower his shoulder / keep his legs moving through contact to tough out extra yards will add a different dimension that the Hokies could probably use in their offense. I'm sure as a fan base people will focus in on the newer recruits that the coaches are trying to reel in, but McMillian should be a big-time weapon for the VT offense.
I posted a thread pretty much talking about the same thing around this time last year, that I was looking forward to McMillian and Greg Stroman suiting up to play since I watched both of them play in high school (even when both of their schools played eachother). I don't follow VT heavily but I could see that Stroman certainly made his presence felt, especially in the bowl game. I think McMillian would have been ready to make an impact as a freshman had he not been redshirted, but from what I recall the Hokies had quite a bit of depth at RB, and the QB competition was already deep. I like his move to RB though, and with that redshirt year I think we will see a finely tuned Travon McMillian ready to move onto the scene. Get him in open space, coach!
