Stewart rushed for almost 900 yards and averaged over 5 yards per carry for Scot "Juice" Loeffler's Bowling Green team this year, which played Penn State and Texas A&M to within a touchdown on the road this season before finishing the year with a long winning streak in the MAC.
Last night I made an appearance on the Two Deep Podcast and I was very vocal about the lack of improvement at safety, linebacker, and offensive line. The results were not acceptable, and the offensive line play this season coupled with Kyron Drones completely limited the ability for the ball to get into the hands of playmakers where they could be successful, despite good scheming. I rant for more than an hour, and Pete does a good job of keeping me on topic (no easy task.)
Vick said Norfolk State officials reached out to him and that he is intrigued by the potential opportunity of giving back to the Hampton Roads community that has long supported him.
The firings were pretty momentous, and although Pry has stated who will coach in the bowl game, I'm curious what everyone thinks about how quickly we might see announcements, particularly for DC.
I mean, I would think there's kind of two opposing forces, wanting to take your time and make the right hire, find out who all might be interested, and maybe have to wait until after a bowl game, but on the other hand, wanting to make the decision quickly so we can replace any current staff with whoever the new DC wants, as well as making the best use of the transfer portal and needing to make headway with transferees early.

Happy Holidays, I decided to gift y'all with a Pry-ssr. If I have the time over the next few weeks maybe I'll do one for the presumed presser we'll have once the hirings and shufflings are complete.
Late notice, but I realized yesterday that the bowls start today! So the Key Play bowl pool is open if anybody wants to jump in. Group Password #LOLuva
Coaching changes for the #Hokies:Defensive coordinator Chris Marve, offensive line coach Ron Crook and strength coach Dwight Galt are out.β Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) December 12, 2024
BLACKSBURG β Virginia Tech football head coach Brent Pry announced changes to his staff Thursday, parting ways with defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Chris Marve, offensive line coach Ron Crook and senior director of strength and conditioning Dwight Galt IV.
I love Virginia Tech. I spent the last 20 years of my life being defined by my live for Virginia Tech, the school and it's athletic programs. I can count on one hand the number of football games I've missed in those 20 years. I've watched us play football or basketball at every venue here in the state of North Carolina that we have ever played in, including the random ass basketball game at Campbell University years ago.
So when I say that I have been asking myself more and more lately this question, know that it's coming from a place where I truly more than anything want us to have success. But I can't keep this question out of my mind:
Fresh start here.

Red is a roster subtraction, green is an addition. Both have slightly different shades based on if they're a transfer, commit, or graduating. Players with an asterisk next to their name are confirmed to be early enrollees.
The table is sorted by position, outgoing, incoming, and lastly by most recent on3 grade. I don't feel like waiting for the composites to come out and on3 has been quicker about getting players' grades updated. Scroll to the right for the roster total and breakdown.
