Virginia Tech QB Kyron Drones Misses Spring Practice

Virginia Tech's starting quarterback, Kyron Drones, will miss the rest of spring practice due to a minor medical procedure, as confirmed by head coach Brent Pry. Despite this setback, the program anticipates his return for summer workouts. Drones, who had an injury-plagued 2024 season, is expected to be crucial for the team's success in the upcoming fall season, especially with the integration of new offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery. Drones' absence will elevate Pop Watson to first-string quarterback during this period. The Hokies aim to improve from last season's 6-7 record with Drones' leadership and Montgomery's offensive strategies. The team will begin the 2025 season against the South Carolina Gamecocks on August 31.
