Kyron Drones Shocks College Football by Announcing Return to Virginia Tech for 2025 Season: ‘Unfinished Business’
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones has announced he will return to Blacksburg for the 2025 season. While many expected the dual-threat star to declare for the NFL Draft after a breakout 2024 campaign, Drones made it clear—he’s not done yet.
“This is about more than football,” Drones said in a video message posted to social media. “I came to Virginia Tech to build something special. We’ve started the climb, but I’m not leaving until we finish what we started.”
Drones, who passed for over 3,000 yards and rushed for 700 more in 2024, played a pivotal role in reviving a Hokies program that had fallen from national prominence. Under his leadership, Virginia Tech finished with its best record in nearly a decade and secured a marquee bowl win that hinted at even greater things to come. His return gives the Hokies an immediate shot at ACC supremacy—and potentially a path to the College Football Playoff.
His decision is more than just a boost to the team; it’s a culture-defining moment. Drones is not only one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country, he’s become the face of Virginia Tech’s resurgence. His announcement was filled with passion and purpose, highlighting his commitment to his teammates, the coaching staff, and the Hokie faithful.
“I’m coming back to cement my legacy,” Drones added. “To lead this team to a championship. To show the world what Virginia Tech football is all about.”
With Drones at the helm for one more year, expectations in Blacksburg are soaring. And if his determination is any indication, the 2025 season could be the year the Hokies finally return to the top of college football.
