Virginia Tech’s football program is buzzing with anticipation as head coach James Franklin took the stage at the ACC Kickoff in Charlotte, North Carolina, to address a gathering of media and fans.
Offseason Momentum
Franklin used the opportunity to highlight a whirlwind offseason that has already reshaped the roster, noting that the Hokies 'won the offseason' by building excitement and momentum among the fan base.
He pointed to a recruiting class that vaulted from the 120s into the top 30 nationally and to the strategic addition of blue‑chip transfers who bring multiple years of eligibility to the squad.
During a dinner with Hall of Fame coach Frank Beamer and new athletic director Brian White, Franklin underscored the collaborative effort behind the program’s recent strides.
Looking Ahead
With Lane Stadium expected to be electric when fall camp opens, Franklin emphasized that the real work begins on the practice field, where winning games will be the ultimate measure of progress.
A full press conference from the ACC Kickoff is available for those eager to hear more of Franklin’s vision and plans for the upcoming season.
