A young lineman whose spring performance put him in position to help the Hokies somewhere along the offensive front this fall … Sparked his spring success with a great off-season in the weight room … Was moved to left guard for the spring and got the majority of the reps with starter Sergio Render sitting out due to an injury … Was named one of the team’s most improved players … Is expected to be an important contributor whether he stays at guard or moves back to tackle, where he was a backup last fall … Is still learning, but was playing much faster by the end of spring drills … Came to Tech as a tight end and moved inside during spring 2008 … Will be counted on to carry over his spring success to the summer and preseason.

2008: Came in for five plays at tackle during the ECU game … Got 16 snaps during the Furman win … Did not see action after that point … Posted a 410-pound bench press during off-season testing … Led the offensive linemen with a 361-pound clean and a 31 1/2-inch vertical jump … Got work as a guard during spring practice … Was one of four winners of the Bullock Award for the most improved players of spring workouts.

2007: Practiced at tight end during the fall while redshirting … Was moved inside to tackle after the season … Posted the best 40 time among the offensive linemen during the off-season at 4.9 … Started off the spring at right tackle but spent most of his time on the left side of the line.

High School: Was a key blocker for Coach Chris Dewitt’s Kellam team that led the Beach District in rushing (233 ypg) in 2006 … Had 19 catches for 416 yards and five touchdowns … Two of those touchdowns came in a game against Ocean Lakes … Named first-team All-Beach District, All-Tidewater and Group AAA all-state as a tight end … Ranked the No. 16 player in the state of Virginia by The Roanoke Times … Listed as the No. 21 overall player on the Virginia 33 by SuperPrep … Rated the No. 22 player in the state of Virginia and the No. 57 offensive tackle in the country by Scout … An All-Atlantic Region selection by PrepStar … A member of the SuperPrep Mid-Atlantic Team.

Personal: Greg Michael Nosal … Born 4/25/89 in Portsmouth, VA … Son of Greg and Elizabeth Nosal … A business major.
