D.Q. Smith Joins Virginia Tech Defense | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech just added a defensive powerhouse in D.Q. Smith, a transfer from South Carolina with over 200 tackles, forced fumbles, and interceptions — plus starting experience. Eligible to play thanks to a Louisiana court order, Smith brings pro-level athleticism after a Vikings tryout (no NFL deal) and is the fourth DB to join the Hokies this cycle. With their season opener against VMI looming, this move bolsters a deep secondary and shows Virginia Tech’s aggressive roster-building strategy as they gear up for 2026.
