Virginia Tech is making a move to strengthen its defense. They are looking at Sean Spencer, who has been coaching defensive lines for years. He has worked at big schools like Texas A&M, Florida, and Penn State. He even spent time in the NFL with the New York Giants.
Spencer's teams have been really good at getting to the quarterback. At Texas A&M last year, his defensive line got a lot of sacks. They were second in the country with 43 sacks. His players also stopped a lot of runs, allowing only 4. 03 yards per carry.
In the NFL, his defensive line was also strong. They got 40 sacks, which was good enough to be in the top half of the league. His players were also solid against the run, ranking 10th in the league.
At Penn State, Spencer worked with James Franklin, who is now the head coach at Virginia Tech. Together, they had a lot of success. In 2019, Penn State got 45 sacks, which was ninth in the country. His defensive line led the nation in sacks in 2015 and 2018.
Spencer is not just a good coach, but he is also a great recruiter. He helped bring in top players like Micah Parsons and LJ McCray. He is ranked 29th among SEC recruiters this year.
Virginia Tech is lucky to have a coach like Spencer. He has a lot of experience, a strong relationship with Franklin, and a proven track record. He could be a great addition to the team.
