## Resource

Virginia Tech’s running back room is heating up for the new season, with Marcellous Hawkins poised to lead the charge after a strong 2023 campaign, while Jeffrey Overton Jr. brings explosive upside and a breakout late-season performance. Bill Davis offers veteran savvy from Louisiana, and freshman Messiah Mickens, despite a spring injury, packs raw potential. With Hawkins and Overton likely splitting carries, the real story is how the coaching staff balances this fierce competition — and whether the depth will elevate the entire offense.
