Virginia Tech running back David Wilson will leave the Hokies for the NFL, the junior announced today.

Another not-so-surprising early entrant. The Hokies consistently churn out fantasy-worthy rushers, but next year may challenge their system. They lose four offensive linemen, and their leading returning running back is Tony Gregory, who had 27 yards this year. He's not built to carry the load, and I'm high on Michael Holmes, who redshirted this season. Three rushers are currently verbally committed to the Hokies, with J.C. Coleman set to enroll this spring, and Drew Harris built like a workhorse back. Both will be worth monitoring.
