I wonder if the staff has given any consideration to getting Patterson on the field with Hooker. He is a dynamic athlete a great runner. Perhaps at running back where he could have a run pass option. Another possibility would be to use him as an H-Back runner like we have been using Keane. Just hate to see that much talent on the sidelines and I am afraid he may enter the portal if we don't start getting him on the field soon. Note his comment in one of the articles about his concern he may never play because Hooker played so well. Doubt he will have the patience to wait until Hooker is gone and he only has one year of eligibility left. Just some food for thought and the kind of out of the box thinking that could make our offense even more dynamic.

VT in the final 11 for near-five-star DT Payton Page

Hokies make the top 11 for DT Payton Page

They’re sort of treading the range where they want to stay on his list, but not get enough of a lead that he immediately commits (while they evaluate other DE options), but if they do make a push, they have the best shot of anyone, with GT right there as well.

On the heels of VT visit, Hokies in final four for Myles Jackson

I think its safe to assume Willis is now the 3rd string QB. Assuming Hooker is healthy, does he start given how well Patterson played?

Furthermore (not trying to jinx us), but does the 'loser' of the 2020 spring practice QB battle enter the transfer portal? Both are starting quality QB's - a good problem to have, but would hate to lose either of them.

Hey guys -- Penn State fan here. I'm certainly early on this, but trying to get on it early..

Planning to come down in September next year for the game and spend the weekend. Planning to bring an RV down with some kids/family. What do I need to know? 2 night overnight parking available in tailgating areas?

Any information that you think might be good to know?

Thanks in advance!

Both Hendon Hooker and Caleb Farley should be fine. To expected to. It’s any on-field time, maybe a bit of practice.

Any word on Hookers injury and why hasn't Hezekiah Grimsley play much? Injury?

That was the expectation, obviously:

Not a lot of (any?) realistic four-star targets out there. Hokies have to get it done in the field - this weekend could be a good start - to change the narrative off it.

Oct. 16 has been circled all off-season and through the early season as VT's big visit weekend, and while the on-field results have taken some of the shine off the group, there should still be a number of talented prospects in the house. Here's an early look:

That's not a comprehensive list, just an early taste. Look for a lot more guys from the Jacksonville area to come up (the same group that camped together in the Summer), along with the usual cohort of guys who come from a little closer to Blacksburg and can make a day trip out of it.

The lone official visitor is Jackson, and it'll be interesting to see how the staff approaches his visit with the way they're spreading the net wider at the DE spot recently. Of course, we're no longer expecting Rivals100 DE Desmond Evans to make his long-scheduled official visit, given that he's expected to commit to the Heels Friday. If he surprises or delays the commitment, the visit could possibly be back on, but I certainly wouldn't be holding my breath.

chat with fellow VT fans during this afternoon’s game!

VT has come on strong with Myles Jackson and he will take his OV this weekend.

Hokies DT enters transfer portal

Honestly, a weird one for me. I know he hasn’t gotten the playing time he’d have liked because of injuries, but the trajectory is still there. Frankly, this is a kid that in the past the coaching staff would do a good job managing, and benefit from his breakout as a fourth/fifth year player.

My prediction is in the story. What’s yours?

Virginia Tech Hokies football preview 2019: North Carolina

In Palm’s bowl projections after Week 7, he doesn’t have the Hokies going to a bowl. He does, however, have Miami and FSU.

After missing on Henry Coleman, the importance of Hall can’t be overstated.
