From Setbacks to Comebacks: Hokies Rising Stronger Than Ever!
Virginia Tech football enters the 2025 season with a chip on its shoulder and fire in its heart. After a rollercoaster 2024 campaign that saw flashes of brilliance overshadowed by moments of inconsistency, the Hokies are determined to rewrite their story. The heartbreaks of close losses and missed opportunities are not being buried — they’re being transformed into fuel for a powerful comeback.
Under the leadership of head coach Brent Pry, now entering his third full season at the helm, the program is showing signs of the grit and discipline that once made it a powerhouse in the ACC. Last season’s 6-7 finish, capped off by a narrow bowl loss, was a reminder of how far the team has come — and how far it still wants to go.
This offseason, Virginia Tech focused on strengthening both sides of the ball. The defense, long a hallmark of Hokie football, is being retooled with a mix of veteran leadership and promising newcomers. On offense, the team returns several key players, including dual-threat quarterback Kyron Drones, who has shown potential to be a game-changer. The offensive line, once a liability, is gaining cohesion, while the receiving corps is deeper and faster than in previous years.
The team’s motto for 2025 might as well be “Redemption.” Every practice, every rep, and every meeting is being treated as a step toward reclaiming pride and pushing beyond past limitations. With a favorable early schedule and crucial home games at Lane Stadium — one of the most electric atmospheres in college football — the Hokies have a real shot at making noise in the ACC.
As fans rally behind the team’s resurgence, there’s a growing belief in Blacksburg that the Hokies are not just hoping for a bowl game — they’re preparing to earn it. From setbacks to comebacks, Virginia Tech is rising stronger than ever.
