2017 ACC Football Legends

Former Virginia Tech center Jim Pyne is one of 14 honorees to be recognized as part of the 2017 ACC Football Legends class announced Tuesday by the league office.

Pyne joins a contingent that includes Boston College’s Matt Hasselbeck, Clemson’s Homer Jordan, Duke’s Bob Harris, the late Monk Bonasorte of Florida State, Georgia Tech’s Keith Brooking, Louisville’s Joe Jacoby, Miami’s Bennie Blades, North Carolina’s Brian Simmons, NC State’s Levar Fisher, Pitt’s Jimbo Covert, Syracuse’s Tom Coughlin, Virginia’s Bob Davis, and Wake Forest’s Ryan Plackemeier.

Pyne, who played from 1990-93, became Virginia Tech’s first unanimous All-American when he made all five major teams that were selected in 1993. In addition to All-America honors, Pyne was named winner of the Dudley Award as Virginia’s Player of the Year.

Following his standout collegiate career, Pyne was drafted in the seventh round of the 1994 NFL Draft and spent nine seasons as an NFL lineman with four different organizations – Tampa Bay, Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia.

Big South defensive player of week

Radford University Senior Kaylor Nash was recognized by the conference for her defensive performance last weekend as she was announced on Monday as Big South Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

The Suffolk native led the league in digs per set this week with 6.71 (47 over seven sets). She began the weekend tallying 19 digs in a three set match against Presbyterian, which was the most by her in a three set match this season.

She followed that performance up with an additional 28 digs in the “Dig Pink” match against Gardner-Webb. That amount was one dig shy of a season-high as she totaled 29 against Campbell on September 29. The senior only needed 13 digs to reach a career milestone of 1,000 digs.
