Spring practices are well underway for the Virginia Tech football team under James Franklin. The roster is going to look different after some pretty big turnover following the coaching change, Transfer Portal activity, and members of the Class of 2026 who have enrolled.
One position that the Hokies are going to be young at is quarterback. Kyron Drones is out of eligibility after the 2025 campaign. Pop Watson hit the Transfer Portal and is at UMass now, while Garret Rangel also hit the portal. That left true freshmen A.J. Brand and Kelden Ryan, who decided to stick it out under Franklin.
