Virginia Tech lost NFL players Antwaun Powell-Ryland and Aeneas Peebles from its 2024 defensive line, as well as solid contributors like Cole Nelson, Wilfried Pene and Josh Fuga. The Hokies made a lot of moves in the transfer portal, though, and combined with a scheme change, we should still see a productive defensive front in Blacksburg this season. Despite the losses, J.C. Price seems confident in his players.
