Among Virginia Tech's multi-year awardees, junior third baseman Carson DeMartini garnered praise for the third consecutive season while senior utility Eddie Eisert and fifth-year pitcher Matthew Siverling both celebrated their second career accolades.
 
In total, 13 Virginia Tech student-athletes were honored for the first time, highlighted by sophomore catcher Henry Cooke, fifth-year pitcher Grant Manning, fifth-year pitcher Jeremy Neff, junior pitcher Wyatt Parliament, fifth-year pitcher David Shoemaker, junior pitcher Jacob Stretch, redshirt-junior pitcher Sam Tackett and fifth-year outfielder Ben Watson.
