Hansberry’s Quiet Impact on Hokies’ Rise | Hokie Basketball News

Author: The Daily News Now! August 18, 2026 Duration: 1:30

Amani Hansberry is Virginia Tech’s unsung hero returning for next season, averaging over 14 points and 7 rebounds last year while stepping up when key players were injured. Despite his impact, he missed SI’s top-10 power forward list and landed in their “10 more to watch” category — a sign he’s flying under the radar despite being vital to the Hokies’ success. Coach Mike Young prioritized keeping him after a tough season, and with Hansberry back alongside Ben Hammond and Tyler Johnson, Virginia Tech has a formidable core ready to challenge ACC giants like Virginia — whose star forward Thijs De Ridder made the top 10.
