Summary
Virginia Tech’s running back future looks bright with Marcellous Hawkins back as the star, boasting over 700 yards and two 100-yard games last season. Newcomers like Bill Davis, a transfer with proven talent, and freshmen like Messiah Mickens add depth, while Darius Taylor’s position switch and Tyler Mason’s experience round out the mix. The real question? Can backups like Jeffrey Overton Jr. and Davis handle the load in a brutal Power Four schedule? With Hawkins and Overton forming a solid one-two punch, the Hokies have a strong top, but depth beyond that remains a key unknown heading into 2026.
