Chancellor to return to Tech for senior season

With his mom watching her first game, Tech safety Kam Chancellor intercepted a pass and broke up two more to lead the Hokies’ tremendous effort on defense in Tech's 20-7 victory over Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl. The interception marked his second of the season. As a team, Tech tied a season high with four interceptions and finished the season with 20.

After the game, Chancellor delivered more good news. He told reporters that he planned on returning to school for his senior season. He had sent in his paperwork to the NFL advisory committee to determine his draft status, but the junior from Norfolk, Va., has decided to stay in school for his final year. He has until Jan. 15 to declare his intentions in the event he decides to change his mind.
