Hokies Captain List Revealed | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech kicks off its 2026 season in two weeks against VMI, headlined by the debut of new head coach James Franklin. The Hokies have named their captains — led by projected starter and redshirt sophomore QB Ethan Grunkemeyer, who stepped up last year and even started games for Penn State. Joining him are tight end Benji Gosnell, linebackers Kaleb Spencer and George Ballance, safety Tyson Flowers, and kicker John Love. Grunkemeyer, a 6’2”, 213-pounder from Lewis Center, Ohio, is already proving he’s ready to lead under pressure. This leadership core looks poised to make waves for the Hokies this season.
