Hokies Dominate Season Opener | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech crushed VMI 73-3 in a season-opening statement win, showcasing dominance across the board and setting an electric tone for the year. Running back Jeffrey Overton Jr. exploded for over 100 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries, including a jaw-dropping 50-yard TD run. Quarterback Grunkemeyer made a strong debut, completing 17 of 20 passes for 224 yards and two scores, thriving with short, effective throws that maximized his playmakers. His chemistry with receivers QueSean Brown and tight end Luke Reynolds—especially Reynolds, who caught five passes for 50 yards and a TD—was undeniable. With Coach Franklin’s leadership elevating the roster, this win signals a fresh start as Virginia Tech gears up for their next challenge against Old Dominion.
