Virginia Tech Depth Battles Heating Up | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s season opener against VMI looms in ten days, and while the starting QB (Ethan Grunkemeyer) and RB (Marcellous Hawkins) are locked in, key depth battles could make or break the season. On offense, left tackle is up for grabs between Justin Terry and Logan Howland—both sidelined in spring. Defensive end has Aycen Stevens penciled in, but the second spot is wide open. At RB, Tyler Mason and freshman Messiah Mickens are neck-and-neck for third back, both also competing on special teams. In the WR corps, Ayden Greene and QueSean Brown lead the charge, but a third playmaker remains elusive—with Marlian Jackson, Tyseer Denmark, and speedy freshman Davion Brown all vying for that role. The Hokies have talent, but how these critical spots shake out will define their 2024 campaign. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
