This offseason, the Hokies have focused on reshaping the roster again, which is common in the current era.
On Monday, Virginia Tech just received a commitment from Stetson transfer Ethan Copeland. The 6-foot-2, 184-pound Copeland is a native of Sunnyside, Washington, and began his college career at Utah State University Eastern, where he spent one season. As a sophomore, Copeland transferred to Salt Lake Community College, where he averaged over 15 points per game.
He transferred to Stetson ahead of last season, where he appeared in 33 games, averaging 15 points, 3. 7 rebounds and 2. 1 assists per game.
Copeland shot 44% from the field, 43% from beyond the arc and 79% from the free-throw line. Go Hokies! pic.
