Hokies tailback Kevin Jones to leave Tech for NFL draft
Virginia Tech star Kevin Jones will leave college early to enter the NFL draft after rushing for a school record eight 100-yard games this season. Jones, who sped for 241 yards and four TDs in a 31 28 loss at Pittsburgh, cites the lure of pro money and a chance to go pro, leaving Cedric Humes and Mike Imoh to compete for the starting job next season. He plans to play one last college game in the Insight Bowl against California and then focus on workouts for the draft.
