Virginia Tech junior RB J.C. Coleman rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries on Saturday versus Cincinnati.

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.

J.C. Coleman - RB - Hokies

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

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.
