Now ranked fifth in the ACC, the Hokies are building through elite recruiting, especially their top-six 2027 class, and key transfers like quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, who finished strong last season without an interception, and Bryce Baker. The offensive line is still developing, but the defense is gaining strength with standout Kemari Copeland and rising young talent at defensive end. Despite a tough 3-win campaign last year, the Hokies are on a clear upward trajectory, fueled by coaching change and smart moves in the transfer portal, with their season opener against VMI on September 5.
