One huge question facing the Virginia Tech football team entering the 2025 season is who is going to replace the carries at running back after Bhayshul Tuten is off to the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars? The Hokies return P.J. Prioleau, who saw his 2024 season cut short with an injury, and Jeremiah Coney.
Also leaving Blacksburg after last season was Malachi Thomas, who hit the Transfer Portal and landed at Purdue. That left Pry and his staff scrambling for replacements, which included incoming freshman Jeffrey Overton, whom the staff is very high on. Virginia Tech added some players through the portal, and it is setting up for an interesting battle in camp to see who ends up getting a lot of the carries.
