🔼 Leading The Way. Three games into his Virginia Tech career, QB Ethan Grunkemeyer is off to quite a start with the Hokies.
In Saturday's road win at Maryland, Grunkemeyer went 31-of-39 for 314 yards and three passing TDs. His performance earned him a spot on the Davey O'Brien Award's Great 8 list.
The Great 8 recognizes eight quarterbacks each week whose performances demonstrate excellence on the field. The Davey O’Brien Award is presented annually to the nation’s outstanding quarterback.
🔼 Tuesday Night Tilt. Coming off back-to-back monster wins in ACC play, the Virginia Tech men’s soccer team are back at home for a nonconference showdown with Queens University.
Looking for a third straight victory, the Hokies will host the Royals before setting up a Sunday afternoon showdown with SMU, one of the other two unbeaten teams in ACC play.
Kickoff tonight against Queens is set for 6 p.m. ET at Thompson Field.
🔼 Partnering Up. Supporting Virginia Tech Athletics can be as simple as filling up your gas tank or dining at your favorite local restaurant.
Virginia Tech Athletics has partnered with Upside to give Hokie fans a new way to support through everyday spending. By using the free Upside app, fans can earn cash back on eligible purchases at participating gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores – and direct those earnings to support Virginia Tech Athletics.
It's a simple way to turn purchases you're already making into meaningful support for the Hokies.
🔼 Three Of A Kind. A trio of Virginia Tech women’s golfers showed out at the Schooner Fall Classic in Norman, Okla., this week earning top-10 finishes to pace the Hokies to a fourth-place in the overall team standings.
Carding 14 birdies on the week, Xin Yao Wang led the way for the Hokies, earning a tie for fourth-place with a 7-under for the three rounds. Just one shot back in sixth-place was Valentine Delon, who’s 5-under in the final round propelled her up the leaderboard once again.
The final Hokie in the top-10 was Emily Matthews, who finished at 5-under after a final round 66.
🔼 Hokie Hero. Each week throughout the 2026 Virginia Tech Football season, a Hokie Hero from the VT Corps of Cadets will be honored for their service.
This weekend’s Hokie Hero was U.S. Navy Capt. Daniel Bense. He is currently serving in U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility as the U.S. Fifth Fleet maritime operations center director in support of Operation Epic Fury.
