Hokies' Offensive Line in Crisis | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s offensive line is in crisis, ranking 105th nationally in sacks allowed last season with 29 total — a problem that’s only gotten worse with the long-term injury of key left tackle Johnny Garrett. Despite a strong run game averaging over 180 yards per game, their passing game cratered at under 170 yards per game, a trend dating back to the departure of a standout lineman to the NFL in 2021. The coaching staff must now build chemistry around a promising core including center Kyle Altuner and transfers Logan Howland and Justin Terry, alongside returning players Montavious Cunningham and Brody Meadows — all while prioritizing pass protection through quicker throws and better team support. With four early-season games against weaker opponents, the Hokies have a chance to fix these issues before facing tougher tests later in the year.
