Virgin had 36 starts his his career and was a two-time All-Southern Conference selection, being named first team in 2014 before making the second team last year after 40 tackles (4.5 for loss), two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He had an interception returned for a touchdown in 2014 against Jacksonville State.
