In a statement released via social media, Drones expressed his disappointment with the situation and his decision to leave the team. “I have always given my best to the Virginia Tech Hokies and cherished my time here. However, recent events have made it clear that it is in my best interest to pursue opportunities elsewhere. I am grateful for the support from my teammates, coaches, and fans during my time here.”
Virginia Tech’s head coach, Brent Pry, addressed the media shortly after the announcement, expressing regret over Drones’ decision but wishing him well in his future endeavors. “Kyron is a talented player, and we are grateful for his contributions to our program. We are disappointed that things have come to this point, but we respect his decision and wish him nothing but success moving forward.”

We will continue to support Kyron in his future pursuits and remain focused on preparing for the upcoming season with the same dedication and enthusiasm.”
Drones’ departure marks a significant development for the Hokies, who will now need to reassess their quarterback situation. Backup quarterbacks are expected to compete for the starting position, with the coaching staff likely to explore potential transfers or recruitments to fill the gap left by Drones.
As the Hokies navigate this unexpected challenge, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team adapts and responds. The departure of a key player like Kyron Drones undoubtedly presents obstacles, but it also opens up new opportunities for other players to step up and make their mark.
The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available. For now, the Hokies and their supporters are left grappling with the sudden and dramatic change to their football program, hoping for a positive outcome in the face of adversity.
