Carrie Lynne Wolford is in her third season as director of player engagement for the Hokies. Wolford leads the development and implementation of Tech's player development program for football. A familiar face for Hokies' student-athletes, she served as assistant director of football operations at Virginia Tech in 2021. In that role, she communicated with the entire squad on a regular basis and assisted in coordinating a myriad of logistical tasks for the team, both at home and on the road.
Prior to joining Tech's football staff, Wolford spent four years as a member of Virginia Tech's Student-Athlete Support Services (SAASS) staff. She worked as an assistant director in that department, providing academic, personal and career support for members of the football team and Tech's spirit squads.
The Wytheville, Virginia native began her tenure with SAASS as an athletic academic advising intern in 2018. Wolford began working with football student-athletes on their academic progress in 2019 and also met with prospective athletes and their families during recruiting events. She later became a tutor coordinator for SAASS, where she hired, trained and supervised over 100 tutors in the program.
Wolford graduated from Tech with a degree in human development in 2017 and added a master's degree in counseling and human development from Radford University in 2019. She is a member of the National Association for Academic Advisors of Athletics.
