The Hokies’ fearless, high-impact safety turned coach
Kyshoen Jarrett’s Virginia Tech profile is built on toughness, instincts, and versatility: in the 2014 season, he led the Hokies with 88 tackles and 3 interceptions, finishing his college career with 249 tackles, 5 picks, and 8.5 tackles for loss[2][14]. He was a captain, a big-play return threat, and a proven leader in high-leverage moments, including a famous 2-interception performance against Ohio State in 2014[2][10]. The big caveat: a severe arm/nerve injury ended his playing career after the 2015 NFL season, but his intensity and football IQ clearly translated into coaching[6][7].
