## Resource

Virginia Tech’s roster is looking strong heading into the season, with Coach Franklin claiming they “won the offseason.” The biggest breakout area? The tight ends, who’ve transformed from a quiet role last year into a key offensive weapon thanks to a new OC, returning standout Benji Gosnell, and fresh talent. Meanwhile, the safety position shows promise with top players like Quentin Reddish and Tyson Flowers, but depth concerns loom after key transfers out — a potential weakness if injuries strike.
