2006 Spring Football Preview: The Offensive Backfield

There will be many new faces in Virginia Tech’s offensive backfield this
season. Tech will be breaking in new starters at quarterback and tailback, and
the coaches must also settle on a two-deep for both positions. At quarterback,
the top two players are fairly obvious, but things aren’t so clear at
tailback.

Backfield Depth Chart

Quarterback

Tailback

Fullback
Sean Glennon (r-So.) George Bell (r-So.) Jesse Allen (r-Sr.)
Cory Holt (r-So.) Elan Lewis (r-Fr.) Carlton Weatherford (r-Jr.)
Greg Boone (r-Fr.) Kenny Lewis, Jr. (Fr.) Kenny Jefferson (r-Fr.)
Ike Whitaker (r-Fr.) Victor Harris (So.) (out: Branden Ore)
Jahre Cheeseman (r-Fr.)
Devin Radford (Fr.)

There is a lot of potential shakeout on the depth chart. Tech is even trying two
cornerbacks, Victor Harris and Jahre Cheeseman, at tailback. The Hokies are set
at fullback, with their top two players returning, as well as a talented
r-freshman. At quarterback, the job could be determined this spring, or it could
drag into the fall.
