There was little mystery surrounding Virginia Tech’s decision at starting quarterback. Head coach Brent Pry said he’d like to name a starter two weeks ago. Pry made it official on Wednesday, naming Marshall transfer Grant Wells as Virginia Tech’s starting quarterback.
Pry met with the media and was asked if he had decided on a starter after Saturday’s scrimmage and said the following, per hokiesports.com.
We are going to name a starter. We met with Grant [Wells] and Jason [Brown] and let them both know that Grant would be our starting quarterback. Jason made it difficult.
