BREAKING: Virginia Tech’s Kyron Drones Wins 2025 Heisman Trophy, Cementing Legacy with Historic Season
In a monumental moment for Virginia Tech football, quarterback Kyron Drones has been awarded the 2025 Heisman Trophy, the most prestigious individual honor in college football. Drones’ electrifying performance throughout the season captured the attention of fans, analysts, and voters alike, making him the first Hokie ever to win the award and etching his name into college football history.
Drones, a dynamic dual-threat quarterback, dazzled the nation with his arm strength, poise, and explosive playmaking ability. He accounted for a staggering 4,320 total yards and 47 touchdowns (33 passing, 14 rushing), leading Virginia Tech to a 12-1 record and their first ACC Championship in nearly two decades. His ability to elevate the team in clutch moments—most notably during a late-season showdown against Clemson—was a defining factor in his Heisman campaign.
What set Drones apart was not just his stats, but his leadership and ability to thrive under pressure. Throughout the season, he engineered four game-winning drives and demonstrated an uncanny ability to read defenses and improvise when plays broke down. His Heisman moment came in Week 11, when he racked up five total touchdowns and 500+ yards of offense against a top-10 Florida State team in a nationally televised thriller.
The Heisman ceremony in New York City saw Drones accept the award with humility and pride, thanking his coaches, teammates, and family. “This isn’t just for me,” Drones said during his acceptance speech. “This is for Blacksburg, for Hokie Nation, and for every kid who was told they couldn’t. We did it.”
Drones’ historic win marks a turning point for Virginia Tech, signaling their return to national prominence and igniting a wave of optimism for the program’s future. As NFL scouts circle and fans celebrate, one thing is certain—Kyron Drones has officially arrived as a college football legend.
