TSL Podcast 337: Transfer Portal Pickups, Military Bowl Preview
Virginia Tech football has received tons of good news as of late, from players announcing they’re returning for 2024 to transfer portal commitments. The Military Bowl is right around the corner too. Sit down with the Tech Sideline crew as they discuss what the Hokies’ new additions mean, how crucial it is that key players are returning and what to expect from the Dec. 27 matchup with Tulane in Annapolis. (81 minutes)
Key Insights from the Podcast:
- 🏈 Virginia Tech has completely reshaped their receivers room in the last 12 months, turning the weakest position unit into a deep group.
- 🏈 Bhayshul Tuten could have rushed for more yards if the season started over, and he has a chance to be a thousand yard rusher next year.
- 🏈 Virginia Tech’s pickup of defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles is a tremendous fit for the Virginia Tech defense and a huge need due to the limited supply of large human beings in that position.
- 🏈 Virginia Tech’s pickup of a linebacker Sam Brumfield from Middle Tennessee has the potential to make a significant impact on the team’s performance next season.
- 🏈 Virginia Tech’s struggles against top running backs could pose a challenge in the upcoming game against Tulane in the Military Bowl.

Random question…can’t help but think our high-value target LB from Salem that decided to go the “Bulldog” route, is aware of all this super positive growth specific to Pry and Marves’ VT defense. Any chance we could get a flip? Go Hokies!
