## Resource

Virginia Tech’s 2026 season rides on Ethan Grunkemeyer, the proven Power Four QB transfer from Penn State, who stepped in last year when the starter went down, throwing for 1,300+ yards, 8 TDs, and 4 INTs while completing nearly 70% of his passes. With the Hokies rebuilding their entire offense and defense, Grunkemeyer is the only QB with starting experience—and the only one who can glue the new pieces together, including familiar faces from his Penn State days. He’s also joining a staff he was developed under at Penn State, adding crucial continuity. Without him, the offense stalls; with him, Virginia Tech’s future hinges on his ability to lead.
