Virginia Tech received some good news on the first day of 2024 when senior Nick Gallo announced his return to Blacksburg for his final season of eligibility. Gallo missed the 2023 season with a torn ACL, which he suffered in a preseason scrimmage, and was granted a medical hardship.

Gallo has 55 receptions for 469 yards and a touchdown during his career with the Hokies. He has played 1,786 snaps since he began his career in 2019 and will provide another veteran presence for a Tech squad that returns nearly all of its key contributors in 2024.

He will be the veteran in a tight end room that includes redshirt sophomores Benji Gosnell and Harrison Saint Germain, as well as redshirt freshman Zeke Wimbush. Gosnell and Saint Germain caught touchdown passes in Virginia Tech’s victory over Tulane in the Military Bowl.
