Virginia Tech’s reinforcement quarterback circumstance sorted itself out Wednesday, with Dylan Wittke entering the exchange entrance, one of four Hokies to place their names in during the night.
A redshirt rookie out of Buford, Georgia, who endorsed with the Hokies last year, Wittke just completed his second spring with Tech in a fight with Pop Watson for the reinforcement quarterback spot to Kyron Robots. Various reports say he’s placed the entryway.
However lead trainer Brent Pry depicted the opposition as to and fro throughout spring, he recognized that Watson had pulled ahead toward the finish of drills, something that appeared to be obvious at the spring game Saturday.
Watson went 13-for-21 for 130 yards and a hurrying score working with the Orange group. Wittke got reps behind Robots in the Maroon group, going 5-for-8 for 44 yards.
Pry maybe transmitted a gateway passage with his remarks after the spring game that Tech’s mentors would discuss adding a quarterback in the following couple of weeks. With the Hokies presently down to Robots, Watson and summer enrollee Davi Belfort as far as grant quarterbacks, they’ll definitely seek after one on the exchange market.
“We’re having those conversations currently,” Pry said Saturday. “We’ve clearly got a few people at the top of the priority list that we’ll talk with. We’ll see where it goes. It must be the right gathering. At the point when you take a gander at Dylan and Pop, and you say, ‘Might one of them at some point be prepared by September?’ Perhaps. However, would you like to face that challenge? That is something [we’ll consider] while we’re watching this film. That is the reason today was so significant for those folks.”
