He added 20 total tackles and 36 punts returned for 397 yards and two touchdowns on special teams.[1] Stroman ranks second all-time in Virginia Tech history with six career return scores, trailing just DeAngelo Hall (seven).[1] In the 2015 Independence Bowl against Tulsa, he had a career-long punt return of 67 yards.[1]
