Gaines and Alexander were suspended indefinitely from all football related activities stemming from an April arrest for possession of marijuana and underage possession of alcohol.

Both Gaines and Alexander received probation for their possession of marijuana charges. The possession of alcohol charge was dropped.

According to the report from the Roanoke Times, Gaines and Alexander will miss "at least" the season opener against Liberty.

Alexander, a rising sophomore, started eight games for the Hokies last season as a true freshman. He registered four interceptions during his first season in Blacksburg.

Gaines spent his freshman season on the scout team as he took a redshirt. He started in place of injured defensive end Vincent Mihota in the Hokies spring game.
