Guys, I don't have a ton here, but it's been asked, so I asked a few VT staff sources on what's going on with the morning workouts the Hokies are doing for football.
As a lot of you know, they're at 5:45 am, in Rector Fieldhouse and are closed to the public and media. But these are essentially just drills, sprints and other exercises that last a little over an hour each morning. They entail breaking the team up into groups and moving from station to station for sprints, shuttles, cone drills, etc.
I'm told yesterday, the first day of the workouts, was a struggle. But the players had just gotten back from spring break and I think that was to be expected. They were in a lot more sync today and performed a lot better.
I'm told the guys that have been standing out over just two days are Isaiah Ford, JC Coleman, Ryan Malleck and Kalvin Cline. I don't have any specifics on why they're standing out, but that the staff was simply especially pleased with these guys.
The other one I've specifically heard mentioned is true freshman Xavier Burke, who enrolled in January. My staff sources say he just works so hard. They've especially been impressed with his effort on everything that's been asked of him and the feedback they've gotten from the strength staff.
I'll post any other tidbits when available
