Former Virginia Tech Hokies quality control coach Tommy Reamon Jr. has left the University and vacated his role, he announced on twitter on Tuesday evening. Reamon Jr. has accepted a role at the next level with the New Orleans Saints to become a Pro Scouting Assistant. He had joined the Hokies staff back in the summer of 2017.

Reamon Jr. has an interesting backstory that all ties back to the '757' region of Virginia. The last name Reamon might sound familiar, as it was Tommy Reamon Sr. who was the high school head coach of Michael Vick, Marcus Vick and Aaron Brooks - the former two being Virginia Tech Hokies. Reamon Sr. coached across multiple schools in the Newport News Public School ranks. His son, Tommy Reamon Jr., played at Gloucester High School and Old Dominion University. He joined the University of Virginia, where he joined forces with Mike London's staff (London is a native of the Hampton Roads). Michael Vick and Aaron Brooks are considered two of the greatest athletes to come out of the '757' region. Both quarterbacks tore up the turf under Reamon Sr.'s tutelage. He made sure the Vick brothers and Brooks secured full-scholarship opportunities to Virginia Tech and University of Virginia, respectively. Reamon Sr. also made a promise with then Head Coach Frank Beamer to make sure Michael Vick received a redshirt year.

Reamon Jr. on the other hand, also had a successful upbringing and was a dual-threat quarterback that had opportunities to attend several P5 institutions. In the end, Reamon Jr. decided to stay close to home and play at Old Dominion University. Reamon was subsequently moved to Tight End and sparingly played during his tenure at the institution. A rocky playing career led him down the path of pursuing a dream he never thought he would follow. A dream of becoming a football coach, just like his father.

Following his playing career at Old Dominion and his graduate assistant role at University of Virginia, Reamon Jr. joined the Pittsburgh Steelers organization as a Pro Personnel and Quality Control Coach. He joined the team his father was drafted to in the NFL and joined a coach with a deep history to the 757 region. Tomlin graduated from Denbigh High School in Newport News, Virginia before going on to attend William & Mary High School. Growing up he was strapped for cash and held a relationship with Tommy Reamon Sr. to further his football career. That relationship came full-circle, when Tomlin welcomed the son into Pittsburgh.

Reamon Jr. most recently spent a season in Blacksburg working as a quality-control coach. His value to the staff was a positive one in the 757 region with growing connections in the state and a big reputation.
