⏱️ Countin’ Down
🦃 And much, much more!
🏈 COUNTIN’ DOWN: 81 DAYS
Throughout the summer, we will be counting down the days
to the return of Virginia Tech Football this fall. The Hokies will host
VMI on September 5 at 7:30 p.m.
Was there ever a question who would be #81 on our countdown?
Our guy Mike Burnop, who has been a part of the Hokie Football program for over six decades, dating back to his time as one of the program’s top tight ends in history in the early 1970s. During his career on the gridiron, he hauled in 90 catches for 1,141 yards, which at the time were school records for tight ends.
Inducted into the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 2000, Burnop has now served as the analyst for the Hokies’ gameday coverage for 43 seasons.
🔼 One Week Away. We are just one week away from the 2026 NBA Draft.
Virginia Tech’s Tobi Lawal has worked all summer to earn an opportunity to have his name called and become the first Hokie since 2019 (Nickeil Alexander-Walker) to be selected in the NBA Draft.
Lawal is currently projected as a second round pick, with the first round slated for next Tuesday, followed by the second round on Wednesday, the 24th.
🔼 One Step Closer. Virginia Tech men’s golf standout Gareth Steyn moved one step closer to a spot in the 2026 U.S. Amateur Championship late last week.
Competing in the local qualifying event at Mid Pines Inn and Golf Club in North Carolina, Steyn fired a 6-under par to tie for the top spot on the leaderboard and punch his ticket to the next round of qualifying in July.
Steyn will tee it up at Rivermont Golf Club in Johns Creek, Ga. on July 20th to compete in the final stage of qualifying for a ticket to the U.S. Amateur, which is scheduled for August 10-16 at Merion Golf Club.
