A few football players from Virginia Tech should visit the transfer portal.

It wouldn’t surprise me if one or more Hokies players used the transfer portal when it opens today.

Today is the opening of the spring transfer portal, and some Virginia Tech football players should be adding their names to it. Who knows for sure, but be prepared for some to try their luck.

 

There is a brief window of opportunity—just 15 days—but participants are not required to commit; they can commit later.

However, with the transfer portal, things can quickly change.

Although Pop Watson and Dylan Wittke are fighting for the No. 2 spot behind Kyron Drones, Pry stated that that might be a very surprising entry.

After the spring practice season concluded, Brad Crawford of 247Sports published his revised Top 25 rankings for the upcoming fall season. Although Virginia Tech remained in the top 25, they dropped in this edition.

Even with one week left, Virginia Tech is one school where not many players have accessed the spring transfer portal. After putting on a strong show in the Military Bowl victory over Tulane, quarterback Kyron Drones appeared to be ready to continue where he left off in the 2023 campaign during the Hokies Spring Game. With an offense that has had a lot of retention, his mobility in the pocket, willingness to put his head down and run with it, and powerful arm will make him challenging to defend.
