Virginia Tech's QB Grunkemeyer Steps Up, O-Line Needs Time

Virginia Techs 2026 NFL Draft class, ranked 20th nationally and 4th in the ACC, features redshirt sophomore QB Ethan Grunkemeyer, who transferred from Penn State along with QB coach Danny OBrien. Grunkemeyer, who started 9 games last year and excelled in the Pinstripe Bowl, is set to fill the QB void left by the draft. However, the offensive line took a hit with Tomas Rimacs departure, and redshirt freshmen will need time to gel in a new system. The class focuses on immediate QB needs and long-term foundation building, with patience being key as Virginia Tech finds its footing.
