Hokie ClubVirginia Tech reserve running back Elan Lewis suffered a repeat injury of his right knee Thursday during practice, according to head athletic trainer Mike Goforth. Lewis, a redshirt sophomore from Hampton, Va., was evaluated by Dr. Marc Siegel Friday afternoon and it was determined that Lewis has suffered an injury to his ACL. He will be required to have season-ending surgery. The timing of the surgery will be determined in the next three days and will be performed by Siegel at Montgomery Regional Hospital in Blacksburg.
Lewis appeared in eight games last year, rushing for 47 yards on 28 carries. He scored on a 1-yard run against Georgia Tech.
