About this episode

Virginia Tech's new coach James Franklin is making significant changes to the football program, enhancing recruiting and team performance.

Virginia Tech just pulled off a coaching coup, landing James Franklin on a massive five-year deal, and the results are already shaking up the ACC. Franklin’s recruiting magic has vaulted their 2027 class into the top 25, and they’ve added high-impact transfers like QB Ethan Grunkemeyer and tight end Luke Reynolds to revamp the offense. On defense, Brent Pry returns as coordinator alongside stars like All-ACC lineman Kemari Copeland and safety Tyson Flowers. With a stacked roster and a first-year coach making waves, Virginia Tech is poised to be a dark horse contender — especially in their big opener against Boston College, where they’re likely to be favored despite the home-field edge. This team is looking like a whole new animal. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
