Former Virginia Tech linebacker Isi Etute has been given another shot in college football after he was found not guilty in a murder trial earlier in 2022. Etute has reportedly latched on with the JUCO club at Iowa Western Community College, where he'll look to put his past behind him and start fresh. Etute was found not guilty in a murder trial stemming from a catfishing scam in May of 2022, and entered the transfer portal in June. Per ESPN, Etute was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly beating a Virginia resident to death as the result of a catfishing scheme.
