Virginia Tech Head Coach Justin Fuente has officially announced the departure of safety’s coach Tyrone Nix.



Nix will be joining the staff at Ole Miss.



“We appreciate the contributions that Tyrone Nix has made to our program at Virginia Tech. Our staff wishes Coach Nix and his family the very best as he returns to the state of Mississippi, a place where his family owns very deep ties. I certainly understand his desire to return to a place he considers home, as well as the opportunity to once again coach with his brother at Ole Miss,” Coach Fuente said.



Nix joined Virginia Tech’s staff prior to the 2018 season.
