In a move that has electrified Blacksburg and the Virginia Tech football community, Kyron Drones, the standout quarterback of the Hokies, has officially announced that he will return for the 2025-26 season. The declaration came during a press event on campus, where Drones confidently stated, “I’m not going anywhere,” sending waves of excitement through Hokie Nation.
Drones, who transferred to Virginia Tech and rapidly became the face of the program, had been the subject of speculation regarding his future. After a stellar 2024-25 campaign that saw him lead the Hokies to several critical victories and gain national attention, many assumed he would declare for the NFL Draft. Instead, the quarterback is coming back, determined to finish what he started.
“I believe in what we’re building here,” Drones told reporters. “The support from this community, my teammates, and Coach Pry made this decision easy. I’m committed to bringing championships to Virginia Tech.”
Drones’ return is more than just a boost to the Hokies’ lineup—it’s a signal that the program is rising. Head Coach Brent Pry expressed deep enthusiasm about the quarterback’s decision, vowing to take Drones to even greater heights.
“Kyron is a leader, a warrior, and the heartbeat of this team,” Coach Pry said. “His decision to stay reflects his character and belief in our mission. We’re going to build around him and push this program to national prominence.”
Under Pry’s leadership and Drones’ command, the Hokies have made significant progress. The offense saw notable improvements, and Drones’ dual-threat ability made him a nightmare for opposing defenses. In the past season alone, he threw for over 3,000 yards and rushed for nearly 700, showcasing his versatility and command of the field.
His return ensures continuity, leadership, and experience—three vital ingredients for a team with championship aspirations. With Drones at the helm, Virginia Tech fans can look forward to a more explosive offense, a competitive edge in the ACC, and possibly a run at a major bowl game.
Reactions to Drones’ announcement have been overwhelmingly positive. Social media lit up with celebratory messages from fans, alumni, and former Hokies, many of whom see this decision as a pivotal moment in the program’s resurgence.
Beyond the field, Drones has become a respected figure in the community, known for his work ethic, humility, and positive influence on and off the field. His leadership will not only guide younger players but also set the tone for a team looking to cement its place in college football’s upper echelon.
As the 2025-26 season approaches, all eyes will be on Kyron Drones and the Hokies. With his commitment and Coach Pry’s vision, Virginia Tech is no longer just rebuilding—it’s reloading.
The message is clear: Kyron Drones is here to stay, and Hokie Nation is ready to ride the wave of excitement all the way to glory.
