The Virginia Tech Hokies have been in no man's land for several years at the game's most important position. The Hokies' failure to adequately address the quarterback position has been a problem since the end of the Logan Thomas era. Jerod Evans in 2016 had a good season, but instead of returning for his senior season, Evans bolted for the NFL draft and was not selected.
Whether it has been recruits or transfers, Tech found no consistency at quarterback, and the team's record mirrored its quarterback play. However, head coach Brent Pry finally found a quarterback in December 2022 when he landed Kyron Drones — a transfer from Baylor with three of eligibility.
