Virginia Tech’s newly hired head coach Justin Fuente got some good news on Wednesday when tight end Bucky Hodges announced he’s coming back to Blacksburg for his redshirt junior season.

A big threat in the passing game, the 6-foot-7, 242-pound Hodges caught 40 passes for 530 yards and six touchdowns in 2015 en route to becoming an all-ACC second-team tight end.

Hodges’ best performance of the season came during a 45-43 OT loss to Duke when he pulled in five passes for 101 yards and three touchdowns.
