Virginia Tech Linebacker Sam Brumfield Out for Four Weeks Due to Head Injury
BLACKSBURG, VA – Virginia Tech Hokies linebacker Sam Brumfield announced today that he will be sidelined for the next four weeks due to a head injury sustained during practice last week. The announcement comes as a significant blow to the Hokies’ defense, which has relied heavily on Brumfield’s leadership and experience this season.
Brumfield, a junior, has been a standout player for the Hokies, known for his aggressive tackling and ability to read offenses. In a statement released by the Virginia Tech athletics department, Brumfield expressed his disappointment at the setback but emphasized his commitment to recovery and returning to the field stronger than ever.
“I’m really frustrated to be out, especially with how much this team has put into this season,” Brumfield said. “I’m going to focus on my recovery and support my teammates from the sidelines. I can’t wait to get back out there and contribute.”
Head coach Brent Pry addressed the media following Brumfield’s announcement, underscoring the impact of the linebacker’s absence. “Sam is an integral part of our defense, and we will certainly miss his presence on the field. However, we have depth in our linebacker corps, and I am confident in the ability of our other players to step up in his absence.”
The Hokies, currently preparing for their next matchup against ACC rivals, will need to adjust their defensive strategy without Brumfield. His injury marks the latest in a string of challenges for the team this season, but the coaching staff remains optimistic about the resilience of the squad.
As Brumfield embarks on his recovery, fans and teammates alike are rallying around him, hoping for a swift return to action.
