There are a lot of questions for James Franklin when it comes to the roster for 2026. Which players are going to be retained and which will leave in the Transfer Portal? As far as the quarterback position goes, Kyron Drones played his final game as a Hokie at Virginia last weekend. The rest of the QB situation is a giant question mark, with Pop Watson having the most experience.
Franklin will likely have to hit the portal to find his first signal caller in Blacksburg. The next starter for the Hokies may be plucked from the portal.
