One of Virginia Tech’s top CBs putting draft dreams on hold

Virginia Tech cornerback Antone Exum made positive headlines over the holidays for being in the giving mood and impacting the lives of three young boys.

Turns out, Exum wasn’t done. The junior gave a present of another kind to the Hokie faithful Wednesday when he informed the team’s coaching staff that he’ll be staying for another year instead of entering the NFL draft.

“I officially will be returning for my senior season with my team!” Exum tweeted. “Working towards ACC and National titles!”

Exum finished the year with five interceptions, 16 pass breakups and two forced fumbles, but had a major impact in the Hokies’ win against Rutgers in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
