Head coach Justin Fuente announced in July that Corey Fuller and Jeron Gouveia-Winslow have returned to the football program and will serve as assistant directors of player personnel. This accomplished duo joins a notable list of other former Tech players already serving in various capacities on the football staff for the Hokies.
“We are excited that Corey and Jeron have returned to Blacksburg to serve as assistant directors of player personnel,” Fuente said. “They both bring the skills and the talent we needed to add to our recruiting efforts. In addition to their vantage point as former Tech players, they also have a keen understanding of the type of individuals who fit our program and can succeed both academically and athletically at Virginia Tech.”
A sixth-round pick of the Detroit Lions in the 2013 NFL Draft, Fuller posted 45 catches for 834 yards (18.5 avg.) with six TDs during his Tech career, in addition to serving as a member of the Tech track and field squad. In 28 career games with the Lions, he caught 18 passes in 28 for 288 yards with one TD. He also spent time on the New Orleans Saints roster in 2016-17. In 2018, he worked as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan on a staff that also included current Tech assistant coach, Darryl Tapp. Fuller is a member of the only family in NFL history to have four brothers all attend the same college and have all four selected in the NFL Draft, joining brothers Vinnie, Kyle and Kendall.
