wilVirginia Tech’s offensive line got a boost this week as Kyle Chung revealed he will return to Blacksburg for a sixth season in 2018.
“Ya boy officially got the 6th year of eligibility,” he wrote in an Instagram post announcing the news.

Recruited as a tight end out of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., Chung redshirted in 2013 while recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum. He returned to the lineup in 2014, but appeared in just one game and underwent a second surgery in January of 2015.
Chung recovered from there and has seen his playing time increase with each passing season. He appeared in four games as a sophomore in 2015, six in 2016 and then started in all 13 games in 2016.
The Hokies are set to lose their starting center and left guard, so keeping their right tackle will be a major boost for quarterback Josh Jackson‘s sophomore season.
