Virginia Tech Expected to Add Penn State QB Ethan Grunkemeyer via Transfer

Multiple reports point to a reunion with the staff that recruited him to address Virginia Tech’s thin quarterback depth.

Overview

  • CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz and other national reporters say the former top-100 recruit is expected to choose the Hokies, with no official announcement yet.
  • After Drew Allar’s ankle injury, he started the final seven games for Penn State, throwing for 1,339 yards with eight touchdowns, four interceptions and a 69% completion rate.
  • The move would reconnect him with head coach James Franklin, offensive coordinator Ty Howle and quarterbacks coach Danny O’Brien, who originally recruited him.
  • Virginia Tech, which lost its top three quarterbacks from last season, has prioritized adding an accurate, primarily pocket-passing starter.
  • Even if Grunkemeyer joins, the Hokies are still expected to pursue additional transfer options to build depth at the position.
