=== Hokies' Thomas to return for senior season ===
 
 Blacksburg,  VA (Sports  Network)  - Virginia  Tech  junior quarterback  Logan
 Thomas  announced  Tuesday, on the final  day for underclassmen to declare for
 the NFL Draft, that he will return for his senior season.
 
 The  6-foot-6, 260-pounder, who was projected as a potential first-round draft
 pick  prior to the season, completed just 51.3 percent of his throws and threw
 18 touchdowns versus 16 interceptions this past fall.
 
 Although  he led  Virginia Tech in rushing with 524 yards and nine touchdowns,
 Thomas'  average  junior season  was surprising,  especially after leading the
 Hokies  to a  BCS bowl just one  year ago and earning 2011 second-team All-ACC
 honors.
 
 The  Hokies  finished the 2012 campaign  with a disappointing 7-6 record after
 fighting  to qualify for the program's 20th consecutive bowl game, the Russell
 Athletic Bowl, before defeating Rutgers in overtime, 13-10.
 
 Thomas,  however,  was just 15-of-39 for  193 yards with two interceptions and
 one touchdown in that contest.
