J.C. Coleman - RB - Hokies

Despite freshman RB J.C. Coleman producing 183 rushing yards against Duke, Virginia Tech plans on continuing their committee approach at the position.

Head coach Frank Beamer continues to praise junior Tony Gregory and redshirt freshman Michael Holmes, adding that both are still in the mix for playing time. He did hint that the team will ride the hot hand, so whichever one of the three steps up will get the most carries in that game.

J.C. Coleman - RB - Hokies

Spring enrollee J.C. Coleman has made a nice impression on running backs coach Shane Beamer.

Redshirt freshman Michael Holmes has attracted much attention as a possible successor to David Wilson – attention that is deserved. Coleman is also in the mix and has been earning plenty of praise from Beamer. The coach has not only been impressed with what Coleman can do when he gets his hands on the football, but also what a solid individual the talented RB is.
