This is the first time Newsome will wear No. 25 in his career. Newsome, a redshirt-senior, has played in 33 career games but has made zero starts. Newsome serves as the No. 2 nickelback/whip linebacker behind Mook Reynolds.
Newsome joins linebacker Anthony Shegog, long snapper Colton Taylor and cornerback Greg Stroman as the Hokies to wear No. 25 this season.
