An Experienced Nucleus
Virginia Tech has five experienced players who have seen a lot of snaps in games and a sixth player who is entering his fourth year in the program and battling for a starting spot.
OT Jonathan McLaughlin: Three letters earned, 2,246 snaps, 35 games, 35 starts
OG Augie Conte : Three letters earned, 1,610 snaps, 31 games, 23 starts
OG Wyatt Teller: Two letters earned, 1,418 snaps, 26 games, 18 starts

OT Yosuah Nijman: One letter earned, 301 snaps, 12 games, 0 starts
OT/OG Parker Osterloh: One letter earned, 57 snaps, 17 games, 0 starts
That’s a lot of experience. To be precise, it’s 12 letters, 6,517 snaps, 134 games and 89 starts. That group combines together to form one of the most experienced groups in the country.
