The resulting conversations and discussions are enlightening for Hokie fans. Dwight has been gracious enough to allow us to share those interviews on TSL.

Tony was a little before my time but we can agree VT has turned out some great fullbacks over the years. Phil Bryant, who was an amazing accomplished high school wrestler to boot, comes to mind. Doug Easlick. Sam Rogers, of course, as well. I’m sure there are more I am forgetting.
Another great update & life story for young men to follow today. Thanks Jarrett & Dwight.
Loved watching Jarrett bowl guys over. I would not have wanted to try and tackle him! Truck and Trailer, Ferguson and Stith!
Jarrett Ferguson was the best FB to come through VT, in my opinion. He could block, was a great runner and seemed like a great teammate. Used to love watching him on the dive play and he threw some nasty blocks.
Glad to hear he is doing well! Dwight does very nice interviews.
Jarrett was great for sure. Best ever? Tony Paige says “Hi”! 8 Yr NFL veteran and HOKIE!
Hey didn’t Jarrett push aside Cullen Hawkins when when he came into the line up? Cullen was a mogul skier and had good lower body and leg strength for blocking; Jarrett had the upper body on top of that to just blast for lead blocks and was the better alternative ball carrier. He might have been a fullback but he did make some nice runs.
Good memories.
yes they are ….
