Virginia Tech football enters fall camp for 2026 season

Virginia Tech football head coach James Franklin expressed confidence in the program as the team enters fall camp in preparation for the 2026 season. The Hokies are scheduled to begin their campaign against VMI on September 5 at Lane Stadium.

Franklin noted a productive offseason and emphasized the importance of translating that preparation into game-day performance. The coaching staff is currently focused on establishing offensive line chemistry and positional flexibility.

Analysis of recent spring activities highlights a strategic shift toward a more complementary offense. Key players such as Luke Reynolds are expected to play significant roles, utilizing versatility in motion and as a receiving threat to influence defensive schemes. Defensive coordinator Brent Pry also noted his enthusiasm for the upcoming season as the team continues intensive training.
