Bhayshul Tuten News, Rumors, Updates - Virginia Tech Hokies

Ruled out for second half Tuten (lower leg) won't play in the second half against Syracuse, per David Cunningham of Tech Sideline.

Impact Tuten will finish the day with just one carry for one yard after he was initially ruled a game-time decision. Malachi Thomas and Jeremiah Coney should continue to split reps in his absence. The senior Tuten's status will be worth monitoring ahead of next week's matchup with Clemson.

Not starting Saturday Tuten (lower leg) is not starting Saturday's game at Syracuse, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.

Impact Tuten, who was a game-time decision, did not start Saturday's game as Malachi Thomas saw the first reps at running back. This does not rule Tuten out, but it's certainly not a good sign.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Considered game-time call Tuten (lower leg) is still considered a game-time decision Saturday versus Syracuse, Brent Axe of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Tuten joined the Hokies for warmups, though he was seen heading to the locker room early, according to David Cunningham of the Tech Sideline. If Tuten ultimately can't play, Malachi Thomas figures to lead the Virginia Tech backfield.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up Saturday Tuten (lower leg) has been spotted warming up ahead of the Hokies' clash with Syracuse, per Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines.

Impact Tuten reportedly has his cleats and ankles taped while giving it a go in early warm-ups. Tuten remains firmly questionable, but it's clear that the tailback is doing everything in his power to play after it was reported that he's firmly questionable after being limited in practice. The star running back has 950 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns this fall.

Appears limited in practice Tuten (lower leg) didn't partake in Virginia Tech's practice during the media's viewing portion, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Tuten was seen practicing without a non-contact jersey, but reportedly didn't participate in the session at all while media was allowed to watch. The star tailback was considered probable earlier in the week due to positive reports about his availability and confidence from his teammates that he'd play, but this could throw a wrench in Tuten's availability if he's suffered a mid-week setback. The Hokies' top dog in the backfield is now firmly questionable for Saturday.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Full participant in practice Tuten (lower leg) was a full participant at Virginia Tech's practice Wednesday.

Impact Tuten was seen practicing and without a non-contact jersey. This coupled with reports from earlier in the week saying the tailback is extremely likely to play seems to indicate beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tuten will play at Syracuse. He's been one of the most dynamic backs in the sport this fall, rushing for 950 yards and 12 touchdowns already.

OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Week 10 Tuten (lower leg) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Syracuse, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.

Impact Tuten, who was spotted wearing a boot after Saturday's win over Georgia Tech, is not expected to miss any time as a result of his injury. The 5-foot-11 senior has been a monster for the Hokies this season, posting 142 carries for 950 yards (6.7 per carry), and 12 touchdowns across eight games. Tuten should be good to go for VT, but if he is ultimately unable to suit up, Malachi Thomas and Jeremiah Coney would likely split backfield duties for the Hokies.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tame output in win Tuten (lower leg) tallied 17 rushes for 79 yards and gathered in 2 of 3 targets for five yards during Saturday's 21-6 win against Georgia Tech.

Impact After exploding for 266 yards against Boston College, Tuten had a quieter - but still effective - day against Georgia Tech. His streak of seven straight games with. touchdown to open the season was snapped, but the tailback remained a viable weapon for this offense. He'll look to get back into the end zone next week at Syracuse, so long as his lower leg injury doesn't prevent him from suiting up.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Observed in walking boot Tuten was observed wearing a walking boot after Saturday's game against Georgia Tech, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tuten exited the game late but was able to return to the sidelines, indicating the injury may not be severe. The senior running walk totaled 16 carries for 72 yards while also reeling in two receptions for five yards before his departure.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits late Saturday Tuten departed Saturday's game late with an apparent injury, but he was spotted on the sidelines at the end of the game, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.

Impact Tuten reportedly made a trip to the locker, so the fact that he returned to the sidelines at the end is at least a good sign. Even so, Tuten's status for next week should be monitored, and it would be a huge blow for the Hokies if he can't suit up. Malachi Thomas seems likely next in line if he's unable to play.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Monster day vs. BC Tuten totaled 18 rushes for 266 yards and three touchdowns and hauled in their only target for 20 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 42-21 win over Boston College.

Impact Tuten's remarkable season just keeps rolling on. He scored four times and racked up nearly 300 yards rushing. Virginia Tech got out to an early lead and then let Tuten do the rest. He's now ran for at least 115 yards in all but two games this fall, and scored a touchdown in every game, with 14 in total thus far. Tuten once again dominated the carries for Virginia Tech and will look to keep his extraordinary season rolling next week against Georgia Tech.

Held relatively in check Tuten logged 21 carries for 73 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-7 victory versus Stanford.

Impact Tuten's 73 yards were his fewest total since the opener when he was limited to 34 yards on the ground. Still, he scored a touchdown for the sixth-straight game, and the Hokies didn't need their star tailback to do all that much amidst a blowout victory. He'll look to hit the 100-yard mark again and keep his touchdown streak alive next week vs. Boston College.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Runs wild in Miami Tuten compiled 19 carries for 141 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 4 of 5 targets for seven yards during Friday's 38-34 loss versus Miami (FL).

Impact Tuten had yet another huge day on the ground. He's now gone for at least 115 rushing yards in four straight games, and has scored at least one touchdown in every game this season for a total of nine on the year. At this point, Tuten appears inevitable, and he'll continue to lead the way for the Hokies' backfield moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another huge performance Tuten posted 15 rushes for 122 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 26-23 loss to Rutgers.

Impact Tuten managed to pile on the production despite a loss at the hands of the Scarlet Knights. He's now gone over 115 yards rushing for three straight weeks, and the tailback has seven touchdowns through four games. He's off to a tremendous start this season, and will continue to lead the way in the Hokies' backfield.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will suit up Saturday Tuten (undisclosed) will play in Saturday's game against Rutgers, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Tuten was labeled as a true game-time call and now reports have confirmed he will be able to go. Tuten's presence gives the Hokies a huge boost in the backfield, as he's posted back-to-back 100-yard rushing games and has already scored on the ground four times.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains questionable Tuten (undisclosed) is still questionable for Virginia Tech's tilt with Rutgers, Pete reports.

Impact Tuten sounds as if he'll be a true game-time decision for the Hokies. He was limited in practice all week, and this decision should come right down to kickoff. If Tuten can't go, expect Jeremiah Coney and Malachi Thomas to lead the way in the backfield

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice Tuten (undisclosed) remains limited in practice ahead of Virginia Tech's clash with Rutgers, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tuten was limited in practice on Tuesday as well. The star tailback played an excellent game against Old Dominion last week, but he's dealing with a nagging injury that's thrown his status against the Scarlet Knights in doubt. Jeremiah Coney and Malachi Thomas remain in line for carries if Tuten can't go.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Rutgers Tuten (undisclosed) is limited early in the week and is questionable for Week 4 against Rutgers, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact It's unclear what exactly Tuten is dealing with, but he's coming off an excellent performance in which he was a workhorse back in the Hokies' win over Old Dominion. The tailback is the clear top option in this running game for Virginia Tech, but with Tuten limited early in the week, Jeremiah Coney and Malachi Thomas figure to get more reps in practice. Those two will be in line to replace him if he can't go against the Scarlet Knights.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tops 100 yards again Tuten compiled 21 carries for 115 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in their only target for negative one yard during Saturday's 37-17 win over Old Dominion.

Impact Tuten topped 100 yards rushing for the second straight week. He's the clear top back in this backfield, as fellow tailbacks Jeremiah Coney and Malachi Thomas combined for just nine carries behind him. Tuten has also now scored a touchdown in every contest and has four on the season. It was the quietest receiving day for the running back on the season, but his rushing output made his fantasy performance more than viable. He'll look to continue his excellent start to the season against Rutgers in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to go Saturday Tuten (undisclosed) is dressed and will play in Saturday's game against Old Dominion, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Tuten was expected to play and log his regular workload Saturday, so this isn't surprising. The running back is coming off a 120-yard, one-touchdown performance in the Week 2 win over Marshall on Saturday and should carry the Hokies' rushing attack once again.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Observed in non-contact jersey Tuten (undisclosed) was observed wearing a blue non-contact jersey in Virginia Tech's Wednesday practice, per Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times.

Impact Tuten reportedly moved around well in running back drills, and the non-contact designation appeared to be more precautionary. The halfback left the Hokies' Week 1 clash with Vanderbilt early, but returned in Week 2 to compile 120 yards and a score on the ground. He appears to be fine heading into Virginia Tech's matchup with Old Dominion, but it's worth monitoring the running back as Saturday draws nearer.
