TECH HIRES CARTER AS AN ASSISTANT AD

Former Virginia Tech football player Derek Carter will return to his alma mater as assistant athletic director for student life.

Carter, who worked in Tennessee's student life office for the past four years, replaces Vito Ragazzo, who retired in July. Derita Ratcliffe, a 1989 James Madison University graduate who is studying for a master's degree in clinical psychology at Tech, will assist Carter.

Carter had 10 interceptions as a Tech cornerback and helped the 1984 Hokies to the Independence Bowl. A Washington, D.C. native, he was a Tech football graduate assistant coach in 1988.
