Additionally, he'll assist in the recruiting process, in "accordance with NCAA rules," according to the release, and interact with campus administrators, local and regional business leaders and donors in outreach and fundraising efforts.

I like this. I'm sure there are other people who can hold things down on the industrial design front. We can use his talents in the AD's office.

This is another example of why I trust Whit.

Having Kevin Jones also help out on the recruiting trail is only going to help. Thinking outside of the box - I love it!

Could even be a preparing role for a future job as a RB coach too.

Exactly - that crossed my mind as well.

Good for KJ! I think he'll take great advantage of this opportunity.

A move like this is low hanging fruit for the athletic department, but one that we haven't always made in the past. Whit seems to be doing everything right in this still very early tenure.

I wonder if KJ will also be used in an attempt to drum up some donations from current Hokies in the Pros. I believe I saw somewhere that former Hokies made something like $45 million in the NFL last year and $0 of that was donated to Hokie Athletics.
