Virginia Tech Football Releases Depth Chart Ahead of Matchup Against Virginia
One of the best stories coming into the season was the battle between Montavious Cunningham and Layth Ghannam for the fifth spot on the offensive line. Now, Ghannam has not returned to the depth chart after an injury and Coach Pry said that Layth needs to get up to speed. Cunningham has now fallen out of the starting five and remains the backup right tackle in Pry's new iteration of the depth chart.
Now, Virginia Tech has been dealing with plenty of injuries, but Collin Schlee and Kyron Drones remain on the depth chart even though they have been labeled as questionable for Saturday's game.
