BREAKING: Kyron Drones Returns to Virginia Tech for 2025-26 Season
Blacksburg is buzzing with excitement as Virginia Tech’s star quarterback Kyron Drones made a game-changing announcement—he’s staying put. In an era where players frequently enter the transfer portal or declare early for the NFL Draft, Drones’ decision to return for the 2025-26 season has electrified Hokie Nation.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Drones declared in a powerful message on social media, sending a surge of energy through fans, teammates, and coaches alike. With one bold move, he has silenced speculation and reaffirmed his commitment to the program, the community, and the vision laid out by Head Coach Brent Pry.
Drones emerged as the heart and soul of the Hokies’ offense during the 2024 season, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities and poise under pressure. His leadership, combined with a growing chemistry with the offense, was instrumental in Virginia Tech’s resurgence on the national stage. As one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the ACC, Drones threw for over 3,200 yards and rushed for nearly 800 more, accounting for 35 total touchdowns.
Head Coach Brent Pry, who has been vocal about building a championship culture in Blacksburg, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm. “Kyron’s return is a statement—not just about his loyalty, but about what we’re building here. He’s a cornerstone of our future,” Pry said. He also hinted at major upgrades in the offensive line and receiving corps to support Drones’ continued development and dominance.
With Drones back under center, Virginia Tech is not just hoping for a strong season—they’re aiming to make a serious run at the ACC title and potentially the College Football Playoff. The returning star has unfinished business, and Blacksburg is ready to rally behind their leader.
One thing is clear: the Hokies are no longer underdogs—they’re on a mission.
