Virginia Tech offensive lineman Kyle Chung has received a sixth year of eligibility, according to a post on his personal Twitter account on Friday night.

Chung applied for a sixth year of eligibility in November after missing a significant amount of time during his career due to injury.

In 2013, Chung underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum while redshirting.

During the following year, Chung missed the first four games while recovering from the surgery. Following the season, Chung underwent his second shoulder surgery.

He played in just one game.

The following year, Chung played in the first four games of the season, making one start. He did not record a single snap in the remainder of the games over the course of the season.

In 2016, Chung made two starts, playing in just six games.

This past fall, in what would have been his senior season, Chung started 13 games at right tackle.

According to the advanced metrics provided by Pro Football Focus, Chung recorded 967 snaps for the Hokies during the 2017 season, allowing just two sacks on the season.
