Branden Ore No Longer A Hokie

According to a release on HokieSports.com today, rising senior runningback Branden Ore is no longer on the team. This frees up the backfield competition to include incoming four-star recruit Ryan Williams to compete with Kenny Lewis Jr., Josh Oglesby and Jahre Cheeseman.

Read the release.

Update: ESPN is reporting that Ore was kicked off the team because “Hokies coaches grew weary of player’s attitude.” While ESPN summarizes that this will hurt the Hokies 110th ranked offense, I think it will help the team because there is one less player who isn’t giving 100 percent to the team and it opens the door for some fresh legs to show us what they can do.

Check this article out, Gary… I think that Kenny Lewis, Jr. (the pounder), will most likely be the starter… then we have Jahree Cheeseman (he showed flashes of brilliance and breakaway speed) and Darren Evans (we cannot forget about him… he’s a good player)… and then Ryan Williams… our super stud recruit who will get a lot of minutes this year… they will be pulling the red shirt off him… we are going to be very, very young at the tailback position… I see this as a growing year for us at the tailback slot… by the middle of the year, these young guys will get more comfortable with the blocking schemes.
