His decision was deeply personal, rooted in Pry’s early mentorship when Copeland was at Iowa Western, where Pry was the only coach who visited him. Even after Pry left for Virginia Tech, Copeland felt his impact—and the coach’s return to the staff sealed his commitment. He passed up the NFL draft and transfer opportunities for NIL money, choosing loyalty and a chance to elevate his draft stock under Pry’s proven defensive system. With Copeland’s physical upgrade and the Hokies’ full backing, expectations are sky-high for a breakout season—and a strong finish to his college career.
