This has been an offseason of change for Virginia Tech. Brent Pry had to replace both of his coordinators from last season as well as a large number of exiting players. The Hokies ended up having five players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft (second most in the ACC) and a lot more leave via the transfers portal. As a result, Pry and his staff had to dip into the portal to replace these players and they ended up bringing in one of the largest transfer classes in the ACC.
We have extensively covered the transfers that are coming into the program, but where did the guys who leave land at?
