Virginia Tech Football News: Legal woes, loud & clear message, rivalry hopes dashed

Five days before the Virginia Tech football team opens the 2025 season against 13th-ranked South Carolina in Atlanta. Head coach Brent Pry doesn't need any more distractions to take his mind off the game. Captain and linebacker Caleb Woodson getting into trouble with the law was not something Pry wanted to deal with.

On Tuesday, Andy Bitter of Tech Sideline reported that Woodson was arrested for DWI, according to online court records. He posted on his X account a couple of hours before Pry with the media ahead of the opener against the Gamecocks, and of course, Pry touched on the subject and didn't say whether or not he would play.
