Virginia Tech QB Kyron Drones Ruled Out of Game Against Syracuse Due to Injury

Virginia Tech starting quarterback Kyron Drones has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against Syracuse due to a lower-body injury. Drones, who has been a key player for the Hokies, reaggravated a foot injury he initially sustained during a game against Rutgers.

The decision to keep Drones out of the game was announced on Saturday morning, just before kickoff. This development comes as a significant blow to Virginia Tech’s offense, which has relied heavily on Drones’ performance this season.

Collin Schlee is set to start in place of Drones for the game against Syracuse. The team is also monitoring the status of running back Bhayshul Tuten, who is listed as a game-time decision.

The injury to Drones highlights the challenges teams face with player health and the importance of depth in the roster, especially at critical positions like quarterback.
