Individual Glories Amid Team Struggles

Virginia Tech’s 2025 season ended with a 3-9 record, their worst in over three decades, but standout individual performances kept fans hopeful. Kemari Copeland delivered a historic defensive game vs. Cal with 7 tackles and 3 sacks — the first Hokie to do so in years — helping secure a double-overtime win. Marcellous Hawkins carried the offense with 21 carries for 167 yards in that same game, setting a season-high rushing total. Terion Stewart also shined vs. NC State, rushing for 174 yards on just 15 carries, including an 85-yard touchdown run. Despite the team’s struggles, these moments highlight the talent and grit still alive in the program — and fans are eager to see what’s next under new head coach James Franklin.
