Ayden Greene - Goes off in bowl game Greene totaled six catches for 115 yards and two carries for three yards during Friday's 24-10 loss against Minnesota in the Duke's Mayo Bowl.

Impact Greene hadn't totaled more than three catches in a game all season, but opt-outs from Da'Quan Felton and Jaylin Lane opened the door for additional opportunities in the bowl game. Greene took advantage of his extra looks and finished the day with a career-best showing, ending the 2024 season with 19 catches for 268 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding nine carries for another 66 yards and a score. He may be aligned for a more prominent role in the Hokies' receiving corps in 2025.

Kyron Drones - Officially out for Mayo Bowl Drones (knee, toe) won't be available for Virginia Tech in the Duke's Mayo Bowl against Minnesota, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Drones was widely expected not to be available for this game considering he's juggling an MCL issue, turf toe and a stress fracture. It was reported that Drones got a little bit of work during bowl practices, but it clearly wasn't enough for the coaching staff to feel comfortable trotting him out as a starter. The Hokies will go with William Watson as their starter, with Collin Schlee backing him up on Friday night.
