James Franklin and his staff are making some big strides in the Transfer Portal in terms of additions to the Virginia Tech roster for 2026. There needs to be a rather big makeover with the roster that went 3-9 in 2025. Franklin has done a nice job of retaining some of the current players on the roster and some young ones that have bright futures.
Franklin has made an effort to add some former Penn State players through the portal. So far, he has four commitments from State College to Blacksburg, with one more, quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, waiting in the wings.
