Former Virginia Tech starter commits to Big Ten school
Icon Sportswire/GettyImagesThe current state of college football is one where you really need to pay attention to see where some of your favorite players end up. It has turned into a professional version of free agency. In this day and age, where you can rebuild on the fly and turn things around quicker than even a decade ago, a lot of people like it.
As far as Virginia Tech goes, NIL and the Transfer Portal are going to be big for new head coach James Franklin, who is rebuilding the Hokies' roster for the 2026 season. As always, with players coming in through the portal, players are going out. As far as Virginia Tech is concerned, the exodus started earlier than normal in 2025.
