Summary
Virginia Tech’s offseason overhaul is already paying off—James Franklin, signed to a $40M+ deal, has flipped the 2027 class to top 25 nationally and brought in key transfers to energize the roster. The offense pivots around QB Ethan Grunkemeyer, who thrived in relief at Penn State, throwing for 1,300+ yards and 8 TDs. Tight end Luke Reynolds (five-star recruit) and wideouts Ayden Greene and Que’Sean Brown (ACC vets) add firepower, while Marcellous Hawkins anchors the ground game. Defensively, Brent Pry returns as coordinator with All-ACC DL Kemari Copeland, safety Tyson Flowers, and a rising linebacker corps led by Kaleb Spencer and freshman Noah Chambers. This September 26th clash against Boston College—BC’s first true test—is shaping up as a brutal ACC showdown, with Virginia Tech poised as a serious title contender.
