Cadet chosen to highlight the colors at the Liberty game
Cadet George McLoughlin will travel with the Hokies to receive the flags at Saturday’s football game at Liberty.
The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and the Virginia Tech football team continue their proud partnership to highlight the colors during the pre-game ceremony at every football game.
Three football players, chosen because of their performance in the last game or at practice, carry the American flag, the state flag, and the team’s spirit flag and lead the team onto the field. They deliver the flags to cadets at the south end of the field.
The cadets, also selected based on their performance in the corps, render honor to the flags and carry them off the field. At home games three first-year cadets are selected, and one or two upper-class cadets travel with the team and receive the flags at away games.
McLoughlin, a senior in the corps’ Citizen-Leader Track, is majoring in secure computing in the College of Engineering. Known for his positive attitude, he is dedicated to service within his battalion. An active volunteer, McLoughlin always seeks to better himself and puts the needs of his organization first.
