Late Monday evening, former Virginia Tech defensive end Trevon Hill took to twitter to release a statement. He posted a statement addressing his point of view of the incident that occurred after the Old Dominion game that led to his dismissal. Hill has not publicly talked about his future plans or what transpired that evening, until now. In an in-depth twitter post, he said:

"First I want to thank god, my family and everyone who has ever supported me during my journey and time at Virginia Tech. Secondly, I want to thank the Virginia Tech community, Coach Beamer, Stinespring, Coach Foster and Coach Wiles for giving me the opportunity to be able to play for such a great school. My time as a Hokie has been amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Even though it hasn't been perfect, and it didn't end the way I wanted it to, I cherished every single moment I have had there.

Many of you have probably heard or read things about why I was dismissed from the Virginia Tech Football Team, and now, I wish to address it all and everyone concerned. All I ever wanted was the best for my team. I never had any intentions to hurt my team or to bring them down in any way. I'm a very passionate player that plays with a lot of heart and tenacity. Where I'm from we don't take losing lightly. And I just wanted to instill that in my teammates and bring the best out of them. During the Virginia Tech game at ODU, specifically during halftime, I was having a conversation with my teammates, and one of the staff overheard a part of the conversation. Words were said and a heated exchange took place. To my knowledge no formal investigation or meetings happened with the athletic department before my dismissal was finalized the next day.

To this day, I'm still confused, and hurt, about why my dismissal was the solution to a problem I sincerely believe could have been talked out. However, decisions that were out of my control were made. Now, looking back, I regret my part in all of this and have learned I need to work on harnessing my passion about winning the right way. But, it would be a disservice to myself, my family and my support system if I didn't speak the truth about what transpired. I have a future to think about, and must responsibily deal with this situation head on. I'd like to answer a couple of questions that many of you may be wondering: I did not fight anyone after the ODU game and I will not be declaring for the NFL Draft this season. I ask for your prayers and support as I decided on what's next and best for me.

I love my Hokie Brothers for life, and the relationships I have built will forever be with me no matter where I end up. Life comes at you faster than what you expect, but when you get knocked down, you have to get back up and collect the pieces. I have decided to learn, and apply what I've learned toward positive progression and moving forward. I can admit I have things I need to work on, and I will make a daily effort to improve myself as a man, a son, a brother, a friend and an athlete. Lastly I want to thank all of Hokie Nation for the support over these past 3 years! You have been amazing you are the best fans in the country and you will be missed!

P.S. God Willing, You'll see me on Saturdays again next year #TheReturn"
