Virginia Tech has released its depth chart for Week 1 of the 2024 college football season ahead of Saturday’s game at Vanderbilt. The Hokies return a ton of production on both sides of the ball and are considered a potential sleeper in the ACC.

Because Virginia Tech has so many starters back, including quarterback Kyron Drones, there aren’t a lot of surprises on the depth chart.
