Virginia Tech football bolsters defensive line with commitment from Alabama transfer
By Scott Roche
The Virginia Tech football team got a lot of retainment following the 2023 seaosn on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Antwaun Powell-Ryland and Josh Fuga announced that they were returning along the defensive line. That didn't stop head coach Brent Pry from building depth in the transfer portal with Duke transfer Aeneas Peebles, Kemari Copeland from Iowa Western Community College and Oklahoma transfer Kelvin Gilliam.
Tuesday night, Pry got a massive commitment from an Alabama transfer to bring another option for opposing teams to game plan for next season as well and makes the defensive line one of the deepest in the ACC.
