As we enter the final bye week of the season and the closing three games, it's time to take a look at where things stand on the redshirt front for Virginia Tech. One thing is clear is that a lot more true freshmen are earning valuable reps this season with one other Hokie in particular having the chance to make this a group of seven who avoid redshirts. Meanwhile, lots of true freshman Hokies have locked in their redshirts including RB Jeff Overton Jr who made his VT debut against Louisville after securing his redshirt amidst his injury recovery.
So let's dive into where things stand on the redshirt front.
