Adibi was one of the top linebackers in school history. He played early in his career and was a standout during his entire time in Blacksburg. He and Vince Hall were an outstanding duo.
Macho Harris came to Virginia Tech as a five-star recruit and he did not disappoint. Another player who played early. Harris was a terrific player during his career for the Hokies.
Drakeford is a player younger fans may not know. But when you talk about ‘DBU,’ it began with Drakeford. A stud during his time with Virginia Tech, Drakeford would go on to have a solid NFL career, too.
Gordon was a part of those overachieving teams coached by Seth Greenberg. He joins his backcourt mate, Zabian Dowdell, in the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame.
Congrats to all seven of these great Hokies.
