The Hokies' No. 25 jersey philosophically honors a special-teams performer. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a position better than kicker to embody former head coach Frank Beamer's special teams emphasis.

And you'd be hard-pressed to find a guy on the Hokies' roster who had a better game last week than John Parker Romo. He hit four field goals and two extra points to lead the Hokies to victory at Georgia Tech.

The No. 25 goes to the player who embodies the Hokies' dedication to special teams success on a weekly basis. It is the very representation of "BeamerBall" in ways both symbolic and literal.

The full list of 2021 honorees is below:

Sept. 3 (North Carolina): S/LB Chamarri Conner

Sept. 11 (Middle Tennessee State): LS Oscar Shadley

Sept. 18 (West Virginia): WR Kaleb Smith

Sept. 25 (Richmond): LB Dean Ferguson

Oct. 9 (Notre Dame): WR Tayvion Robinson

Oct. 16 (Pittsburgh): CB Jermaine Waller

Oct. 23 (Syracuse): DE Amare Barno

Oct. 30 (Georgia Tech): DB Jalen Stroman

Nov. 5 (Boston College): K John Parker Romo

Romo is a perfect 22/22 on extra points this season, and has hit 10 of 13 field goal attempts, with one of the misses from 53 yards just last week. A Tulsa transfer, the senior served as a placekicker and backup punter in previous seasons.
