Virginia Tech Defensive Breakdown, Position by Position

It’s that time of year; the time of year to take a look at who the Virginia Tech Hokies have lining up on the first and second team units. For this episode, we focus on the defense. We go in-depth on the defensive tackle and defensive end positions and look at some key departures and arrivals. We break down the very thin linebacker room, and discuss why it could be an issue as the season wares on. There’s a ton of talent and depth in the secondary, which is the strength of the Hokies defense. There is a strong core group of starters when it comes to the Virginia Tech defense. However, depth is a major concern. Will this group improve from last season? We think so, and we discuss to what extent.
