Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente announced Thursday that defensive lineman Jarrod Hewitt will wear Frank Beamer’s No. 25 jersey on Saturday in Tech’s contest vs. No. 9 Miami.
It will mark the second time that the Venice, Fla., native has earned this honor.
Hewitt (6-1, 280), tied a season-high with five stops this past Saturday vs. Liberty, a total that included 1.5 TFLs. A team captain, in 2020, he has posted 15 tackles in 2020, including 5.0 TFL and 2.0 sacks.
In Hewitt’s first game wearing the 25 jersey, Tech earned a 42-35 victory at Miami in 2019 and he recorded a solo tackle.
