Some more offseason attrition for the Hokies.

Kalvin Cline's fall collection will no longer include Chicago maroon and burnt orange. The former Virginia Tech tight end announced his upcoming transfer to Texas A&M.

"Couldn't be more thankful for my time at Virginia Tech," Cline wrote on Instagram. "It's been an amazing 3 years and Hokie Nation has a special place in my heart. It was truly an honor to play for a legend like Frank Beamer and I wish nothing but the best for my teammates this up coming season. But after I graduate in May I will be finishing my last 2 years of eligibility at Texas A&M. Can't wait to do big things at College station and see the 12th man light up the stadium! Gig'em Aggies!!"

Cline caught 30 passes for 362 yards and 2 touchdowns during his Hokies' career. 87% of those catches occurred during a breakout true freshman season for a relatively unknown prospect. Cline played just one year of high school football and committed to Tech the May after national signing day in 2013.

A knee injury derailed Cline in all but two games his sophomore season (he was granted a medical hardship), and he never seemed to get on track in 2015.

As a sophomore, Cline joined Tech's Corps of Cadets.

"Coming into college, you can imagine having academics, football and doing the Corps is a lot for anybody. So I decided I was just going to focus on football and school," Cline told The Key Play in September 2014. "And then I had a great GPA, with football I had a great year, and then I was like 'I do have some time to do another one of my passions,' and that's the military. So I thought this year it would fit a lot better, so I've been catching up with everything and its been going well."

Texas A&M also offers a Corps of Cadets program.

Additionally, former Virginia Tech WRs coach Aaron Moorehead serves the same position with the Aggies.
