Summary
Virginia Tech football gears up for a pivotal 2026 season under new head coach James Franklin, aiming to rebound from a dismal 3-9 campaign in 2025—their worst record since 1992. ESPN’s FPI ranks them 33rd nationally with a 7.4 score, projecting a 7-win season with a 76% chance of at least six wins. Key transfers like QB Ethan Grunkemeyer and returning stars Marcellous Hawkins and Jeffrey Overton Jr. bolster the offense, while Ayden Greene and QueSean Brown add depth at wideout. Defensively, Kemari Copeland leads the charge. The Hokies open against VMI on Sept. 5—their first matchup since 1984—setting the stage for a season with high hopes and heavy expectations.
