Virginia Tech’s football program collected multiple preseason honors as Athlon Sports named eight Hokies to its Preseason All-ACC Teams. Luke Reynolds (junior tight end) earned a spot on the First Team, while Kemari Copeland (defensive lineman, redshirt senior), Que’Sean Brown (wide receiver, redshirt senior) and Marcellous Hawkins (running back, redshirt senior) were placed on the Second and Third Team levels, respectively. Kaleb Spencer (linebacker, senior) and Kyle Altuner (offensive lineman, redshirt sophomore) received Third Team and Fourth Team honorable mention recognition from Athlon Sports. Isaiah Brown-Murray (defensive back, redshirt senior) and kicker John Love (redshirt senior) were also listed on Athlon’s Fourth Team. The article notes cross-recognition on Phil Steele’s preseason list, with Love honorable mention there and Spencer and Hawkins also named to Third Team. It adds context on prior production, including Reynolds’ 368 receiving yards over two Penn State seasons and Copeland’s 48 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 2024.
