By my count, Virginia Tech has 24 scholarship true freshmen on campus, not counting placekicker Michael Santamaria. Let's talk about their chances of earning playing time in 2014.
Today's article is simply my initial opinion of the status of each player, based on what I know about them from the recruiting process (plus spring practice, if they were enrolled that early). I'll update these statuses throughout the month of August, once practice begins and we get a chance to observe open scrimmages.
