Michael Cole is now a Hokie, and will be a safety at VA Tech. This is really good, considering Beamer's a caste guy.

it appears that Michael Cole, despite his ideal size and superb athletic talent (he was named Iron Hokie for his weight room work in the offseason, has a 36.5-inch vertical, and 4.01 pro shuttle according to his Hokie bio), has been regulated to White Special Teams Demon status. at least that is his role tonight against Georgia Tech.
he's been flying around the field on special teams, but i've not seen him play a single snap on defense.

Sorry to see Michael Cole had to retire from football due to neck injury...hope everything has been healing. Thought he had a legit chance to play in the NFL... He was a CFN.com Freshman All-American...played in 10 games(starting 4 as nickleback)...when getting the opportunity he shined!
Michael Cole to retire from football
Cole, from Roanoke, Va., played in 10 games this past season as a redshirt freshman, making four starts as the nickel back. He earned Academic All-District honors and was an honorable mention Freshman All-American by CFN.com after making 43 tackles and recording two interceptions and a fumble recovery. He led the team with 11 tackles, including one for a 3-yard loss, at North Carolina and recovered a fumble and returned an interception 12 yards against Duke. He also had five tackles and an interception at Clemson.
Cole started against Florida State and made two tackles before leaving the game early with a neck sprain. He did not play the rest of the year.
“Michael has done well after the injury he sustained in the Florida State game,†said Dr. Mark Rogers, head team physician. “Unfortunately, he was still having some persistent symptoms, so he underwent surgery on his neck. He has recovered well and he will continue rehabilitation. We expect him to make a full recovery.â€
