Returnees: Braxton Burmeister, 6-foot-1, 205 (R-Jr.), Knox Kadum, 6-foot-3, 185 (R-Fr.)
Newcomers: Connor Blumrick, 6-foot-5, 215, (Jr.), Tahj Bullock, 6-foot-4, 224 (Fr.)
Key departures: Hendon Hooker (transfer), Quincy Patterson (transfer)
Virginia Tech’s quarterback room looks a lot different in 2021. Gone are Hooker and Patterson, both via transfer to Tennessee and North Dakota State, respectively. It was a disappointing end for both players. Hooker had some good moments the last two years, but never became a consistent passer. The end for Hooker came in the Clemson game.
As for Patterson, he was often used as the battering ram in his two seasons with Virginia Tech.
