In a move that has electrified the college football landscape, Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones has announced his return for the 2025 season, vowing to complete “unfinished business” and lead the Hokies in a pursuit of championship glory.
Drones, a redshirt senior from Houston, Texas, emerged as a dynamic dual-threat quarterback since transferring from Baylor. In the 2023 season, he threw for 2,084 yards with 17 touchdowns and only three interceptions, while also rushing for 818 yards and five touchdowns, showcasing his versatility and athleticism.
Despite facing injuries that limited his play in the 2024 season, Drones demonstrated resilience and leadership. His commitment to the Hokies’ program was evident when he chose to return for the 2025 season, even as the team underwent significant changes, including the hiring of new offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery.
Montgomery, known for his offensive acumen, brings experience from previous roles at Baylor and Tulsa. His arrival signals a strategic shift aimed at maximizing the talents of players like Drones. The synergy between Drones’ skill set and Montgomery’s offensive philosophy is anticipated to elevate the Hokies’ performance in the upcoming season.
Drones’ decision to stay also reflects his belief in the team’s potential. “Guys stayed for a reason,” Drones said. “We know the team we can be this year. We want to go win a championship, and that’s the reason why everyone came back. This is the year to do it.”
The Hokies’ roster stability, with key players returning, positions them as strong contenders in the ACC. Drones’ leadership and experience are expected to be pivotal in navigating the challenges of the season and striving for a conference title.
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Kyron Drones and the Virginia Tech Hokies. With renewed determination and a cohesive team, they aim to etch their names into the annals of college football history.
