former Hokies DB who earned his way from walk-on to scholarship
Ishmiel Seisay’s Virginia Tech story is defined by outkicking expectations: he arrived as a preferred walk-on, developed into a scholarship defensive back, and was recognized with Virginia Tech’s Wes Worsham Award for exceeding expectations. That kind of climb says plenty about his competitiveness, coachability, and football IQ—traits teams love in a DB room. For a fit, think reliable depth, toughness, and a player who understands how to earn trust; the stat sheet won’t tell the whole story, but the résumé screams grinder.
