Hokie ClubBLACKSBURG – Head coach Justin Fuente announced Thursday that DB Divine Deablo will wear Frank Beamer's No. 25 jersey on Saturday in Virginia Tech's game vs. Old Dominion. It will mark the third time that he has earned the honor of wearing Beamer's No. 25 jersey.
The first time Deablo wore the No 25 jersey was as a true freshman in in Tech's 39-36 win against Pitt in 2016. He forced a fumble on kickoff coverage in that contest that was recovered by the Hokies. He also earned the honor for last season's game at Pitt.
Deablo (6-3, 223) has played in 30 career games (12 starts) during his Tech career. He has accumulated 77 tackles (48 solo) to go along with an INT, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and six passes defensed.
At the beginning of the 2016 season, head coach Justin Fuente announced that a special teams' player of the week would be selected to wear the No. 25 as a tribute to Coach Beamer and his legacy of special teams' excellence he established for the Hokies.
