is that Wang has a new number and is
moving inside from Tight End to
Offensive Tackle.

(WANG BITE:)

Wang has traded in his number 85
for 77 and is dealing with the changes
of sliding one spot closer to the
Center.

The Hokie Coaching Staff is
hoping that Wang can follow in the
footsteps of another Player who made
transition. Duane Brown came to
Blacksburg as a Tight End, the
2-thousand and 7 Season will be his 3rd
straight as a starting Tackle.
