Hokies Open Season Against VMI | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s football season ignites September 5th against VMI — their first matchup since 1984 — as new head coach James Franklin makes his debut and the Hokies aim to break out of recent seven-win doldrums. The real test? Watching the revamped offense, led by new QB Ethan Grunkemeyer, connect with emerging receivers QueSean Brown and Luke Reynolds — a former top recruit poised to shine after flashes at Penn State. With tight ends expected to play a bigger role, the balance between wideouts and TEs will be key. Grunkemeyer’s pocket passing could elevate the passing game, but can it spark ACC contention? And who’ll emerge as the true No. 1 receiver — Brown or returning Greene? The offensive and defensive lines, especially alongside Kemari Copeland, also face big questions. This opener won’t answer everything — but it’s the first real glimpse into what this Hokies team is built to be.

Hokies’ Offense Hinges on the Line | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech’s football team is bursting with fresh talent this season, thanks to a strong recruiting class and key transfers, but their biggest hurdle? The offensive line. Despite adding experienced players like Logan Howland and Justin Terry, and returning veterans, the unit still has major question marks — especially after last year’s dismal offense that averaged just over 21 points and 300 yards. With new QB Ethan Grunkemeyer stepping in, the Hokies need a reliable line to protect him and open running lanes. Time and cohesion are critical — can these new pieces mesh quickly enough to turn the tide? The offense’s success hinges entirely on the line’s ability to deliver.

Malachi Overton’s Comeback Story | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Malachi Overton’s journey from ACL tear before his first college snap to emerging as Virginia Tech’s most explosive back is just beginning. After missing the start of 2025 but exploding in the final four games with 146 yards and a TD run, he’s now heavier, faster, and more confident—leading the spring game in rushing. With a revamped offensive coordinator focused on the ground game and the passing attack struggling, Overton’s role as the No. 2 back is a perfect setup. Healthy for the entire 2025 season, he’s poised to make his mark—and the Hokies’ run game—starting September 5th against VMI.
