The Virginia Tech quarterback race, for the second year in a row, will enter fall camp as the biggest storyline ahead of the new football season. The early work by the coaching staff and the players in the rotation began this spring, with redshirt-freshman Josh Jackson, true freshman Hendon Hooker, and junior transfer A.J. Bush all readying themselves for an opportunity to replace last season’s starter Jerod Evans, who declared for the NFL Draft.
Coach Fuente and his staff have repeatedly stated that the race for the starting job is wide open right now, but with little media availability granted throughout the spring, it has been difficult to paint a completely clear picture of who is ahead in the battle to date.
