… But Braxton’s been practicing the whole time. Been able to move around and function, but one wrong cut or whatever and it hurts like the dickens, as you can imagine. “I don’t know if you can more severely break something or less severely break it,” Fuente said. An offensive lineman stepped on his foot at practice a few weeks back and broke three of his toes. Burmeister is also cleared to go and will take back his No. Hooker, who got hit on the arm at Pitt and had to leave briefly, is healthy.
With Patterson leaving, Knox Kadum moves up into the third-string spot. “I’m not sure he’d be able to play for us the last couple weeks,” Fuente said, “and I think that aided him in that decision.” The swelling was bad enough that he could not grip a football well. 21, he got hit on the thumb of his throwing hand. The timing is strange, though Patterson might not have been able to play anyway. Both are only juniors eligibility-wise, leaving a path to the field unclear for the redshirt sophomore Patterson. 2, though he hasn’t played since the UNC game. Hooker has had the staring reins for the past year-plus, with Burmeister designated as the No. Still, the depth chart was an uphill climb. In the opener this year against NC State, he filled in for a cramping Braxton Burmeister and completed 4 of 6 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown, showing a better feel for the Hokies’ passing game. With Hendon Hooker injured the following week, he started at Notre Dame, keeping the Hokies in it to the end in a 21-20 loss despite a scaled back playbook. He famously closed out Virginia Tech’s epic 43-41 six-overtime win against North Carolina last year, making big plays in critical moments like a 53-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, a fourth-down 18-yard touchdown pass to Damon Hazelton that sent it to a fifth overtime and his two-point plunge off the left side of the line to end it. He got some of that at Virginia Tech, where he finishes his Hokies career having made minimal appearances on the field - he was 22-for-52 passing for 359 yards, four touchdowns and one interception, adding 333 yards and three touchdowns on the ground - though he popped up in big situations often enough to leave Hokies fans wondering “What if?”ĭespite serving as the third-string or backup quarterback the past two years, Patterson had his moments. The Chicago product simply didn’t have the same kind of prep quarterback development as many players coming out of high school. 13 dual-threat quarterback in the 2018 class, Patterson came to Tech with much fanfare, despite admitting that he’d be a project. I look forward to watching him play and watching him get on the field on a more consistent basis.” We’ll have nothing but great things to say about him moving forward. I’m sure when the news hits his phone will be blowing up with a lot of people trying to find out about him and our phones will be blowing up too. We stand ready to help him in any way we can moving forward.
Quincy knows how I feel about him and his folks. He played a vital role in our football team. NFL footage © NFL Productions LLC.“I just want to publicly thank Quincy for his time here,” Fuente said.
