After taking over as the starting quarterback last season for Virginia Tech, Hokies quarterback Kyron Drones is hoping to take a big step forward this season. H
is hoping to take a big step forward this season. He finished the year as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the conference and his play and continued improvement are reasons to buy the Hokies as possible ACC contenders this season.
Last year, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels took a huge leap in his second season with the Tigers and ended up winning the Heisman Trophy and being picked No. 2 overall by the Washington Commanders. Is there a quarterback in his second year after transferring who could make a similar leap? Maybe not, but One3 Spots Andy Staples"Virginia Tech’s Drones, who came from Baylor before last season, is an excellent choice for this category.
But Drones isn’t the only QB trying to join a growing club of transfers who thrived in their second seasons with their new team. Though Baker Mayfield’s 2016 season, the year before he won the Heisman Trophy, probably was the first of this phenomenon, Joe Burrow’s 2019 Heisman season is the ultimate example of this jump. But the group keeps expanding as more teams take transfer quarterbacks with eligibility remaining.
