NEW HAVEN, CONN. – T Christian Darrisaw continued his haul of postseason accolades with his selection by the Walter Camp Football Foundation as an All-America Second Team selection. The Upper Marlboro, Maryland native has now been tabbed by seven different outlets an an All-America pick, including Associated Press and the Football Writers Association of America.
A consensus first-team All-ACC selection, Darrisaw started 10 of the Hokies' contests at left tackle where he anchored the left side of Tech's offensive line and was part of a blocking unit that helped propel the squad to six 250-yard rushing games. The Hokies registered 27 rushing TDs, the squad's best total in a decade, and also paved the way for RB Khalil Herbert who posted six 100-yard rushing games in 2020. Darrisaw was named the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week following Tech's 38-31 victory at Duke (10/5/20).
