Cornerback is the best position group on the Hokies' roster. Virginia Tech's top two cornerbacks in Mansoor Delane and Dorian Strong are among some of the top cornerbacks in the ACC. In the newly released EA Sports College Football 25, Dorian Strong was ranked as the 75th best player in the nation, as well as being the 9th highest rated cornerback in the game.
Mansoor Delane, who plays opposite of Dorian Strong, is another intriguing name in this secondary as well. Mansoor was incredible in his freshman year at Tech, leading the team in pass breakups , captured an interception, and was a 247Sports True Freshman All-American. Delane was a full time starter in 2023, his sophomore year, and showed his true potential as a future #1 cornerback on the depth chart. I think he and Dorian Strong as a tandem are going to have a huge year in 2024.
Dante Lovett should also see a big boost is playing time and he's the most likely to fit the nickel role that Derrick Canteen left. Lovett defended three passes, and had three pass deflections. Lovett also registered a recovered fumble in his freshman campaign last season. One freshman who could see some action is Jonathan Pennix, who was redshirted last season, and has yet to see his first game action.
