## Resource

Virginia Tech’s football future just got a major upgrade with James Franklin taking the helm—and the Hokies are primed for a seismic leap in 2026. Backed by a hefty investment and a new athletic director, Franklin’s arrival signals a bold transformation, not a rebuild. With a loaded transfer portal and a hungry roster, the Hokies could hit eight wins for the first time since 2019—and maybe even more. While the ACC’s elite like Miami and Louisville lead the pack, Virginia Tech’s fresh start, fueled by energy and talent, makes them one of the most electrifying teams to watch this season.
