## Resource

Virginia Tech’s football future just got a major upgrade with James Franklin’s arrival — and Phil Steele’s preseason hype is already flying. Franklin’s landed a top-25 2026 class plus elite transfers like QB Ethan Grunkemeyer, and his 2027 class is already top ten. The Hokies’ 2026 schedule is brutal, but fans are optimistic. Steele named nine Hokies to his All-ACC team, led by defensive tackle Kemari Copeland (a potential NFL draft pick), plus receivers Que’Sean Brown and Luke Reynolds (a Penn State transfer set to thrive in Franklin’s offense), and RB Marcellous Hawkins. With big moves and preseason recognition, Virginia Tech is primed to be a breakout team this fall. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
