From Vanderbilt RB Star to Elite ACC Run Game Architect
Norval McKenzie electrified as a Vanderbilt running back from 2001-04, piling up 1,724 yards from scrimmage and seven TDs, capped by a standout junior year with 629 rushing yards and five scores—showcasing his toughness and vision. Now Virginia Tech's assistant head coach, run game coordinator, and RB coach after stints at Georgia Tech (where his backs racked up 3,903 scrimmage yards and 32 TDs in two seasons) and Arkansas State (NCAA-record punt return defense), he's a proven developer of explosive, versatile backs with deep Atlanta recruiting ties. Perfect fit for teams craving a relentless, mentorship-driven run game innovator.
