Virginia Tech football: Kyron Drones, Terion Stewart named to Maxwell Award Watch List

How good will the Virginia Tech Hokies be in 2025? Unlike last season, there are zero expectations for the upcoming season, which can be a good thing. Last season’s team had high expectations and finished with a 6-6 regular-season record.

Much of what the Hokies do this season depends on quarterback Kyron Drones. Will he be healthy? How will he acclimate to new offensive coordinator Phillip Montgomery’s offense?

This week, the Maxwell Football Club announced its watch list for the 2025 Maxwell Award, given annually to college football’s Most Outstanding Player. Drones was one of 80 players named to the list.
