Virginia Tech Football Releases Depth Chart Ahead of Matchup Against No. 19 Clemson
Heading up to Virginia Tech’s matchup against Clemson, Brent Pry gave some injury designations to a banged-up Hokies roster which dropped their last game against Syracuse.
Bhayshul Tuten and Kyron Drones did not play. Backup quarterback Collin Schlee was banged up during the game. Mansoor Delane also took some big shots, and Layth Ghannam has been medically cleared to play.
However, you will not see Layth Ghannam’s name on this week depth chart, since Brent Pry said that Layth needs more time to get back to game speed before returning to the field.
Tuten, Drones, and Delane were all labeled as questionable for Saturday’s game. Collin Schlee had a different designation, as Brent Pry said Schlee would be good to go if he was needed against Clemson.
