🦃 BUILDING SOMETHING SPECIAL

Momentum continues to build across Virginia Tech Athletics.

Over the past several months, Hokie Nation has seen a series of significant developments that underscore the university's commitment to competing and succeeding at the highest level of college athletics. From the launch of Hokie Ventures and continued progress through the Invest to Win initiative to a historic $75 million commitment that will help shape the future of Virginia Tech Athletics, the department continues to position itself for long-term success in an evolving landscape.

Following last week's Virginia Tech Board of Visitors presentation, host Evan Hughes sat down with Deputy Athletics Director Danny White and Executive Associate AD / Athletics Chief Financial Officer Brandon Hall for an in-depth conversation about the state of Virginia Tech Athletics. The discussion covers Hokie Ventures, facility investments, department-wide success, transformational philanthropy and the continued momentum surrounding Hokie Football.

🏈 COUNTIN’ DOWN: 85 DAYS

Throughout the summer, we will be counting down the days
to the return of Virginia Tech Football this fall. The Hokies will host
VMI on September 5 at 7:30 p.m.

One of the exciting new faces in Blacksburg will be wearing #85 this fall in transfer tight end Luke Reynolds.

Reynolds, a transfer from Penn State, showed his potential in the Hokies’ spring game hauling in five catches for 69 yards.

In two seasons with the Nittany Lions, the Westford, Mass., native played in 29 games, hauling in 35 catches for 368 yards and one TD.
