As it stands currently, Virginia Tech has to be very happy with their quarterback room. This time last year, we were discussing a battle over the quarterback po
sition between returning starter Grant Wells and Baylor transfer Kyron Drones. The switch has now been flipped, with Drones looking like an everyday starter and perhaps an All-ACC candidate going into the season.
Kyron Drones obviously isn’t perfect. There are two main points for progression for the QB1 heading into next season: ball-carrier vision and panic control. Drones was very solid in the run game last year, breaking off some big runs, but he also has issues. Drones will struggle to find open lanes at time, finding himself running into a tackle, or a crowd of offensive linemen. Drones has room to improve in the passing game too.
Watson and Schlee are both players who are very strong in the run game, which seems to be a theme for the Hokies at the quarterback position.Redshirt junior Ben Locklear was a two-star prospect out of high school and chose to walk on at Virginia Tech, instead of taking a scholarship at an FCS school. Locklear is a true pocket passer who hasn’t seen any game action in the three years at Virginia Tech, but he has made large strides in practice.
