## Resource

Virginia Tech’s running game may have lost key pieces this offseason, but don’t count them out—Marcellous Hawkins is stepping up as the new engine, racking up nearly 800 yards last year with elite PFF grades. Jeffrey Overton Jr., a four-star recruit sidelined by injury, is poised to explode once fully healed, bringing size, speed, and pass-catching ability. Davis excels in short-yardage, Tyler Mason adds speed, and freshman Messiah Mickens brings untapped potential. If Overton returns at full strength and the offense opens up, this backfield could be deeper and more explosive than expected.
