Kevin Jennings and the most productive pass rush in FBS since 2023 are waiting in Dallas. Virginia Tech needs more from these three players to keep up.
Through eight weeks, Virginia Tech has shown tangible signs of progress, and with four games remaining, the question becomes just how high the Hokies can climb.
The Hokies went 3–9 last season and had no one drafted in April. Eight games into Franklin’s first season, they’re bowl-eligible with a tight end climbing draft boards.
With bowl eligibility secured and four games remaining, Virginia Tech has an opportunity to turn an encouraging first season under James Franklin into something even more significant.
