## Resource

Ethan Grunkemeyer, the surprise hero who stepped in for Penn State when their starter got hurt and the coach was fired, is now Virginia Tech’s new QB for 2026—and he’s already being called one of the ACC’s top talents. After leading the Nittany Lions to bowl eligibility and shining in wins over Michigan State and Nebraska, he’s a hot transfer target. Now, he’s joining a Hokies roster with big names like Darian Mensah and Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, and facing a much easier schedule than last year. Analysts rank him eighth in the ACC for 2026—but if he leads Virginia Tech to wins, that ranking will climb fast.
