🎥 ALONG FOR THE RIDE

🔼 Checkin’ In. We are just over a month away from the Virginia Tech Football Spring Game and this week, Coach Franklin stepped behind the mic and gave us a little update on how the Hokies spring is going.

🔼 Cleveland Or Bust. All the offseason work. All the extra training. It is all for this moment.

The sixth-ranked Virginia Tech Wrestling squad heads to Cleveland this week to compete at the NCAA Championships, which are set to kick off Thursday, March 19.

This is just the fourth time in program history the Hokies have qualified ten wrestlers and the third time since Tony Robie had been elevated to head coach nine seasons ago.

🔼 Tuesday Tilt. The Virginia Tech women’s lacrosse team will look for its third straight win when the Hokies travel to High Point for a midweek showdown with the Panthers.

Coming off back-to-back wins last week, Tech will look to continue to rely on its potent offensive attack, with six different Hokies having scored 12+ goals in the first 10 games of the season.

Game time in High Point is set for 6 pm tonight.

🔼 Schedule Shift. Reschedule those meetings. Clear up the calendar. We need you tomorrow afternoon at English Field!

🔼 Looking For More. Entering his fourth full season in the big leagues, Virginia Tech alum Kerry Carpenter is looking for even more with the Detroit Tigers.

Coming off a career-high in HRs (26), Carpenter enters 2026 looking to become the first former Hokie with three or more seasons with 20+ HRs in the big leagues. He is currently tied with Franklin Stubbs with two in their careers.

Carpenter and the Tigers are set to kickoff the 2026 season next Thursday in San Diego against the Padres.
