Larry Austin’s elite speed and playmaking make him a high-upside Hokies corner
Larry Austin stands out for rare explosion—he was timed at 4.26 in the 40 and used that speed to block two punts and a field goal, showing true game-changing special-teams juice[1]. For Virginia Tech, that kind of twitch, coverage range, and willingness to impact hidden-yardage plays makes him a valuable fit if you want a corner who can tilt field position and bring immediate intensity. The big question is whether that elite athletic profile can keep translating into consistent snap-to-snap production on defense, but the ceiling is clearly the draw[1].
