When a disappointing 2024 Virginia Tech football season came to a close at 6-6 in the regular season, there was a mass exodus in the Transfer Portal from Blacksburg. It wasn't surprising to see players enter the portal, but what was eye-opening was where some of those players ended up.
Virginia Tech entered the 2024 season with a lot of hype, and there were visions of the Hokies being a dark horse for the ACC Championship Game and the new 12-team College Football Playoff. Instead, things went south with an overtime Week 1 loss at Vanderbilt, and things went up-and-down the rest of the season and ended with an all-too-familiar 6-6 record under Brent Pry.
