Kyron Drones' 2024 didn't go as planned, but he was also dealing with three separate leg injuries that eventually cut short his season. Now healthy (and with a new OC at the helm), he and the #Hokies hope the QB can exceed even his 2023 output. virginiatech.sportswar.com/subscription/2…

#Hokies QB Kyron Drones is fully cleared now, but he was on crutches/a scooter for six weeks after surgery in the spring. "I really took walking for granted," he joked.
Pry: "This team is the closest to what I have for my vision of Virginia Tech football." #Hokies
Pry: "In general, we feel like we have something to prove." #Hokies
Pry: "Excited about the opener. That's why these young men come to Virginia Tech," to play games like that. Calls South Carolina "arguably a playoff team last year." #Hokies
Pry said one major conclusion he came to after the 2024 season: "We needed to be a more mentally and physically tough team." Says a lot of their offseason has been aimed at toughening this team up. #Hokies
Brent Pry: "We needed to have the type of offseason that we're having." Reiterates that he believes the #Hokies' roster is deeper than it's been on his watch.
