Virginia Safety Jonas Sanker Named to 2024 All-ACC Preseason Football Team
Virginia senior safety Jonas Sanker was named to the 2024 All-ACC Preseason Football Team, as announced by the Atlantic Coast Conference on Thursday afternoon. The team was selected by the same panel of 170 media members who voted for the ACC Football Preseason Poll, which predicted the Cavaliers to finish 16th in the conference standings this season.
Sanker received 73 total votes, third-most among the defensive players named to the All-ACC Preseason Team. See the full 2024 Preseason All-ACC Football Team below (note: votes in parenthesis).

Sanker is coming off of an incredible 2023 campaign that saw him earn a First-Team All-ACC selection after leading his team in tackling with 107 stops, pass breakups with 11, and forced fumbles with three. He made at least seven tackles in 11 out of UVA’s 12 games and led the Cavaliers in tackling eight times.
Sanker has reeled in several preseason recognitions. In addition to earning Preseason All-ACC honors, Sanker was also named to the watch lists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, presented annually to the National Defensive Player of the Year, and the Jim Thorpe Award, which honors the top defensive back in college football.

Three Takeaways From Virginia Tech Baseball’s Series Win Vs Cal
Berkley, CA — Virginia Tech won their third consecutive ACC series and have won 9 of their last 12 matchups on the diamond. Despite dropping game three in 9-4 fashion, the Hokies needed this series win and got it, putting themselves firmly on the bubble this week.
There’s plenty of takeaways from the series, so here’s my top three.
No. 1: The Hokies are peaking at the right time
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a column on what the Hokies would need to do to put themselves in position on the bubble, and they have followed that blueprint to a tee.
I stated that the Hokies would need a 15-4 run going down the stretch, and they’re within striking distance, needing to go 6-1 from here on out with four games against non-conference opponents.
They couldn’t afford another series loss in conference, and they haven’t taken one.
With that run, the Hokies — who sat outside of the top 45 — have moved themselves up to 36th in RPI — a firm bubble position — with a three big ACC games remaining and four must-win non-conference games.
No. 2: Brett Renfrow has found it
What is ‘it’ exactly? Well, he’s the only one that knows.
Over Brett Renfrow’s first two starts in the month of April against Miami and Boston College, he surrendered 12 runs in 11 innings, striking out 10 batters and hurling over 200 pitches in the short time span.
Since then, he’s arguably been the best pitcher in the conference. In his recent three starts, Renfrow has allowed the following statline:
21.0 IP
3 ER
10 H
6 BB
27 K
Those numbers bring an ERA of 1.29 and a K/9 of 11.57.
For those of you who are familiar with the K%-BB% stat, Renfrow’s is sitting at 25.9%. For context, Tarik Skubal — who won the AL Cy Young last year — had a rate of 27.8%.
Brett Renfrow getting back to those strong, consistent starts that we’ve seen in the past is something that Virginia Tech desperately needed from it’s ace, and it will be crucial for the Hokies down the stretch.
No. 3: The Bullpen has been much more consistent
Earlier this season, the Virginia Tech bullpen had a huge issue with blowing leads and losing games.
Against Cal, the Virginia Tech bullpen surrendered just a pair of runs in 10 innings of work.
The highlight of the bullpen as of late has been Chase Swift, who hasn’t given up a run since March 3rd against Marshall. He’s made nine appearances in that time and has posted the following stat-line:
13.1 IP
0 ER
4 H
6 BB
18 K
Much like with Renfrow, consistency from the Virginia Tech bullpen is going to be key down the stretch, and the Hokies are headed in the right direction.
