Over the last couple of weeks before the Transfer Portal opened, there were players making announcements in regards to their future. Some players were announcing that they were either leaving Blacksburg or returning.
There were mixed results in terms of retention and players leaving Virginia Tech, which created more needs in the portal for James Franklin. One player who had yet to announce his intentions was kicker John Love. You might not think that this is a big deal in terms of it being a kicker, but Love is one of the top kickers in the country.
