Virginia Tech's Roster Entering The 2026 Winter Transfer Portal Cycle

Virginia Tech football sits right near the precipice of one of its most important stretches: the winter transfer portal cycle. Starting tomorrow, players will be free to officially enter the transfer portal and work towards finding their new homes. Several now-former Hokies — like William "Pop" Watson III, Garret Rangel and Cameron Seldon, among others — have already announced their intentions to enter the portal upon its opening. Ahead of that, here's a position-by-position look at what the roster currently looks like, with eligibility listed in parenthesis. Seniors that may be eligible for medical redshirts will not be listed as of yet, due to uncertainty surrounding whether they would be utilized or not:
