16 The Hokies’ Individual Honors Since 1984 Chris McKeel, Johnson Wagner, Ryan Stinnett, Brian Krusoe, Brendon de Jonge and Coach Jay Hardwick won BIG EAST titles for Tech in 2001 and 2002. A proven recruiter who emphasizes the ideal of the student-athlete, Hardwick has built the golf program around players who are standouts in the classroom as well as on the golf course. During his tenure, the graduation rate for golfers who have completed their eligibility at Virginia Tech is 99 percent. In Hardwick’s first four seasons of coaching, the Hokies placed different players on consecutive Academic All-America squads; Jake Allison was named to the 1985 Golf Coaches Association Academic All-America team and Mark Teachey earned this distinction in 1986. Carl Wakely received this same prestigious recognition in 2006, now referred to as an All-American Scholar. In 2008 Jurrian van der Vaart and Drew Weaver became the fourth and fifth All-American Scholars in Virginia Tech history and Weaver became the first Tech player to earn this award twice when he was named an All-American Scholar again in 2009.
