Veteran Hokies interior lineman with real starting pedigree
Zachariah Hoyt is a battle-tested Virginia Tech interior offensive lineman whose appeal has always been reliability, versatility, and toughness; in the 2018 season he emerged as a surprise starter at center, and in 2019 he was described as a versatile lineman who opened games at center before an injury slowed him down. He’s the kind of player coaches trust because he’s been through it, not because he’s flashy: big frame, position flexibility, and the grit to compete for interior snaps. The main question is health and consistency, but as a team fit, he brings veteran depth and experience.
