"Wearing No. 25 at Virginia Tech is definitely an honor here," Hawkins said following the meeting. "I'm blessed to be able to wear the number on Friday night. It's such a rich tradition here for the guys that wore it before me since Coach [Frank] Beamer's been here, especially on special teams. I just can't wait to wear it on Friday night against ODU."
