BLACKSBURG – The Voice of the Hokies, Jon Laaser, conducts a post-practice interview with wide receiver Jaden Payoute on how things are going so far during fall camp.

On the offense getting in sync pretty quickly and his thoughts overall on the first few practices:
"We bring the energy every day so like the young guys are coming along very well. Older guys have been leading them. So, the offense is coming along really good."

On how the vibe is right now in the receiver room:
"The energy has been great lately. You know, like I said earlier, the younger guys are coming along very well and listening and taking the coaching well and learning the playbook."

QUICK HITS

Offensive lineman Brock Hoffman and Lecitus Smith really emerging as the vocal leaders for the offense and imploring the energy on the sideline.
- Post practice, head coach Justin Fuente told some of the younger players that this is a key stretch where you have to catch up to some of the veterans and be ready to go.
