David Wilson - RB - Hokies

Virginia Tech junior David Wilson is the Hokies' top returning running back and is ready to establish a legacy of his own.

The Hokies’ backfield was a busy place last season. QB Tyrod Taylor and tailbacks Ryan Williams and Darren Evans were all returning stars. That trio has moved on and, this season, it is David Wilson’s turn to bust loose and capture the spotlight. He had a very productive sophomore season with 1,437 all-purpose yards and 11 touchdowns. But now he is the starting tailback and he has some lofty numbers in mind for 2011.
