Head Coach Brent Pry
On the importance of Senior Day for student-athletes:
"It's great, these guys deserve this, and it's such a special day for them. When they look back, they're going to remember that, and being out there with their families. We're doing a group photo at the end, and I think the fans appreciate it. These guys deserve the notoriety and the applause. To me, it's a special day that deserves recognition and I'm excited about it for them."
Safety Nasir Peoples
On his tenure at Virginia Tech:
"I'm surprised I've been here that long. It's been a long time. I've been here six years. I still remember when I first got here. I didn't expect to be here six years, but I enjoyed every moment. Like, just going on that field every time is a big thing. Like, Enter Sandman, you never get tired of it, so I'm going to miss that."
Defensive Lineman Antwaun Powell-Ryland
On J.C. Price helping his development:
"I mean, really just the mindset of how to play the game. You know, most definitely on the field, how I think out there as far as, reading keys or just playing the game in general."
