Brent Pry and Virginia Tech Football just released their unofficial depth chart in preparation for the Hokies' matchup against the Duke Blue Devils this weekend.

Keylan "Brodie" Adams was listed on the depth chart this week for the first time this year, replacing Takye Heath's spot behind Jaylin Lane at wide receiver.

Bhayshul Tuten remains the starter on the depth chart despite him and Malachi Thomas being questionable. Jeremiah Coney is listed as a co-backup with Thomas behind Tuten.

In a special teams change, Ali Jennings has been named as a co-backup at kick returner alongside Malachi Thomas. Thomas Williams remains the starter at kick returner.

This week marks yet another week where Layth Ghannam has not returned to the depth chart after his injury. Bob Schick is currently listed as the starting left guard.
