Eddie Whitley

FS, CB/KR · Virginia Tech
The returning starter at free safety ... Is coming off a solid season in which he recorded 80 tackles, six pass breakups, two interceptions and two forced fumbles ... Came up with a game-changing interception at UNC ... Can play free safety, rover, either cornerback spot or in the nickel package if needed ... A smart, talented player who the coaches would like to see make more plays ... Will be one of the Hokies’ leaders in 2011.
