Following its 12th practice of the spring, Virginia Tech football met with the media outside at Steve Johnson Practice Fields and conducted a press conference on Tuesday.
Read below for some highlights of what was said.
Running backs coach Elijah Brooks
On how he would assess the practices during the spring:
"Practice has been great. The guys have been working extremely hard since the beginning of spring. I've been seeing development in a lot of areas. We're definitely trending in the right direction."
Running back Bhayshul Tuten
On his relationship with fellow running back Malachi Thomas and pushing each other:
"He is a funny dude. We're cool. He's a great teammate and a great friend on and off the field. Overall, he is a great person. On the field, it's great competition. He never backs down. He always wants to win. So, we're competing right now, how it should be, and he has a great motor. It's a positive."

On being fully healthy again (missed eight games last fall):
"It feels amazing. Feels good to be back to what I was doing before. All I can say is I'm very excited for the rest of the spring and this upcoming season."
