Grimm, Render honored by ACC

Staff, wire reports

Virginia Tech’s Cody Grimm and Sergio Render were named players of the week on Monday by the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Render had 10 knockdown blocks in the Hokies’ 38-10 win over N.C. State on Saturday.

Grimm, a linebacker, picked up his third Defensive Back award after he set an ACC single-season record with three forced fumbles, all of which came in State’s first four plays. He now leads the nation in that category. He finished with eight tackles, two sacks, a QB hurry and a fumble recovery.
