Virginia Tech Hokies' 2026 Season Preview

Virginia Tech Hokies, led by new head coach James Franklin, kick off their 2026 season on September 5th. Freshman quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, who finished strong last year, is poised to lead. The Hokies face a soft early schedule, with Pitt being the toughest test. The offensive line returns most starters, but depth was tested by spring injuries. Marcellous Hawkins and Jeffrey Overton Junior lead the running backs, with Bill Davis looking to make an impact. The first five games will determine the running back rotation, setting the stage for an ACC run. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
