Davis Everett Retires After 38 Years

Virginia Tech Athletics is saying goodbye to a legend: Davis Everett, who’s retiring June 30 after 38 years with the university, starting as a student-athlete and ending as Senior Associate Athletics Director for Major Gifts. Known for his integrity, passion, and unmatched relationships across Hokie Nation, Everett helped lead the $400M “Reach for Excellence” campaign and previously spearheaded a $30M business school initiative. His legacy spans the gridiron — he even started in the 1986 Peach Bowl — to the boardroom, shaping the future of student-athlete support. This retirement coincides with a wave of leadership changes, including Athletic Director Whit Babcock stepping down July 1 and President Tim Sands soon after — another era ending at Virginia Tech.
