 Deshawn McClease, Virginia Tech, Player News


  Virginia Tech running back Deshawn McClease isn't going to let a canceled pro day get in the way of his NFL aspirations. McClease spent the two months leading to Tech's pro day working out at Bommarito, a 20,000-square foot athletic complex in the Miami area that counts dozens of current and former professional players as clients. He wrapped up the training session a week before the coronavirus virus outbreak shut down much of the country. The NFL quickly applied restrictions that prevent teams from sending personnel on the road, effectively canceling pro days scheduled after March 13. Pro days are the best chance for players that weren't invited to the NFL combine to perform for a large group of scouts.

"I'm not bummed out about it, there's still an opportunity to make it," McClease said. "My main focus is trying to control what I can control." McClease relied on that same philosophy in Blacksburg as he dealt with injuries that sidelined him for long stretches of his college career - including the 2016 season. "Early in my career, I was given lemons," McClease said with a laugh. "I had my first two years taken away from me. I really had to fight my whole time at Tech. I had to fight some uphill battles. I felt like I definitely responded in a way not many people could say they have. There's visible and tangible evidence every single year I've gotten better and continued to get better." McClease intends to still "put on a show" for NFL scouts - he ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at Bommarito - but they won't get to see it first hand. - Richmond Times-Dispatch

  Virginia Tech running back Deshawn McClease isn't going to let a canceled pro day get in the way of his NFL aspirations. McClease spent the two months leading up to Tech's pro day working out at Bommarito, a 20,000 square foot athletic complex in the Miami area that counts dozens of current and former professional players as clients. He wrapped up the training session a week before the coronavirus virus outbreak shut down much of the country. The NFL quickly put restrictions in place that prevent teams from sending personnel on the road, effectively canceling any pro days scheduled after March 13. Pro days are the best chance for players that weren't invited to the NFL combine to get in front of a large group of scouts.

"I'm not bummed out about it, there's still an opportunity to make it," McClease said in a phone interview with The Roanoke Times. "My main focus is trying to control what I can control." McClease ran for 1,833 yards with 12 touchdowns and caught 28 passes for 231 yards for Tech. He had his best season in 2019, with 177 carries for 843 yards as the team's primary running back with three 100-yard games. "I can catch the ball out of the backfield, I can run between the tackles, I can run outside, you can line me up in the slot and kick returns," McClease said. "I've been working on punt returns. I can pretty much do anything they ask me to do and I'm going to come to work every single day with a chip on their shoulder and get better." - Roanoke Times

  Deshawn McClease's 3-yard run with 1:03 remaining capped a wild back-and-forth final few minutes and gave Virginia Tech a 42-35 win over Miami on Saturday, in a game where the Hokies wasted a 28-point lead. Dalton Keene caught three touchdown passes for the Hokies (3-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who went up 28-0 in the first half and led 35-14 midway through the fourth quarter. That's before Miami scored three touchdowns in less than four minutes to tie the game - oddly going for a two-point conversion after the second of those scores, then having kicker Bubba Baxa miss an extra point after Deejay Dallas' 62-yard run with 3:16 left tied the game.

But the Hokies needed only five plays to go 63 yards to take the lead. McClease's 3-yard run capped the drive, with Keene's 26-yard catch on third down putting the Hokies on the doorstep. Miami's final drive got to the Virginia Tech 10 with 5 seconds left, but N'Kosi Perry - who was brilliant in relief for the Hurricanes, throwing for a career-best 422 yards and a career-high-tying four touchdowns - had his final two throws to the end zone get knocked away. The Hurricanes lost despite outgaining the Hokies 563-337. Jeff Thomas had two touchdown catches and 124 receiving yards for Miami, and Brevin Jordan had a TD grab to go along with 136 receiving yards. - Virginia Tech/AP College Football
