Sources: Virginia Tech expected to hire Penn State assistant Brent Pry as next head coach

Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry is expected to be announced as the next head coach at Virginia Tech, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Pry is one of country’s top defensive coordinators, as Penn State finished No. 7 this year in total defense. Pry has been at Penn State since 2014 and served as the main defensive coordinator since 2016. He’s respected as one of the country’s top defensive play-callers.

Pry’s hire represents Virginia Tech throwing back to the school’s defensive roots, as a lunch pail has long served as an emblem for the program.
