Here are some quick-hitting notes from the availability: » Virginia Tech had four quarterbacks going through drills during the open portion of practice. Pop Watson and Davi Belfort were getting the first reps, followed by walk-ons Jackson Sigler and Ben Locklear . Kyron Drones and Collin Schlee were not on the practice field while in “treatment protocol,” according to Hokies coach Brent Pry . Pry and Bowen both said they are preparing four quarterbacks this week. Drones and Schlee will likely go back and forth between treatment and the practice field, while Watson and Belfort get the bulk of the on-field reps. “We’re preparing multiple guys to play, we’re preparing four guys to play right now. And I was impressed with the young guys today at practice,” Bowen said Tuesday. “We’ve got a lot of growth to do in that room. We’ll see where we get to from a health standpoint by the time we reach Saturday, but it’s certainly a challenge getting that many guys ready to play. There are only so many reps at practice, but I don’t view it as a challenge in a negative way but in a positive way with opportunities and we can kind of shape a game plan around what people’s strengths are and have multiple versions of that and see where we get by Saturday.” » Watson appeared in two games in 2023 and made two appearances this season before playing for three quarters last weekend at Duke. Pry said Watson gained “good film” by being thrown into the fire for the first time at Tech. He completed 12 of 25 passes for 146 yards and one interception, and he was credited with minus-4 rushing yards because of being sacked seven times. Watson, with the game experience, will have a better understanding of what he needs in the game plan. “You’ve got to think, he’s played sparingly here and there, a lot of it being mop-up time last year. A little bit this year. To see him in live action when the game’s on the line and you’re in the flow of the game, you’ve got the full game plan at your disposal when you’re playing quarterback,” Bowen said. “I thought it was good to see him and his confidence in that. I didn’t think the moment was too big. Then I think now you go down from that, that’s a big piece of it. You don’t find that out about a quarterback until you get in the game. Then the next piece of it is, OK, well where is our process in the decision-making and that stays true in the game. And those are the things that certainly I think need to get a lot better to play winning football on offense at the quarterback position.” » Belfort has spent most of the season serving as the scout team quarterback. Defensive players have raved about Belfort’s speed and what he’s brought to preparing the starting defense for the opposing quarterbacks. Belfort has moved up to No. 2 quarterback this week and will need to be ready in case Watson has to exit the game and both Drones and Schlee aren’t available. “He’s really improved his speed. Davi’s very conscientious. Good decision-maker. Still coming along in a lot of ways, he’s a young guy. But Davi puts in the work. He’s prepared. He’s prepared like a starter all year,” Bowen said. “We have the quarterbacks go through, if you’re not the two guys, there’s a lot of time invested in that position during the week. Way more above and beyond what the normal required hours are in meetings and things like that. And what Davi’s done, what we have those young quarterbacks do, they do scouting reports every week on the opponent to really keep them in the game, to teach them how to watch film. Both myself and Coach Crist, that’s a crucial part of their development. It’s not just seeing the film and understanding the defense and understanding the game plan. It’s understanding how to do those things. You don’t do those things at that level in high school. So he’s done that all year, as well as Pop, as well as Jackson and Ben, and I think that’s kept them in the flow. I think he does a really good job of, although not getting the reps, of going through the mental process as though he’s going to play. And I think that makes it easy when you’re getting some reps in practice, whether that be with the twos or the threes, it makes that transition a little bit easier.” » Keli Lawson rotated between Will and Star linebacker in last weekend’s game at Duke. He had five tackles and 1.5 tackles for a loss while backing up Caleb Woodson at Will and Keonta Jenkins at Star. Lawson played at Star during the 2022 season before moving to Will and playing inside the box during the 2023 campaign. Jenkins and Kaleb Spencer had been the primary Star linebackers through 10 weeks. “He can cover a lot of ground. We joke he can reach the Lane Stadium lights from the practice field with his arms as long as he is,” Quinn said of Lawson. “He covers a lot of ground when you bring him on a pressure. He is deceptively fast and, as long as he is, he’s able to stay off blocks a lot of times. He’s got such a great wingspan that when he gets into windows of throws and things like that, he does a really nice job. But is it nice having long, tall guys that can run. Obviously we’ve tried to recruit those kind of guys to the position if you look at him, Keonta, Gabe Williams and the body types. That’s the type of guys we want to play with.” » Jenkins delivered what could have been a potential game-altering play with less than two minutes remaining against the Blue Devils. Jenkins punched the ball out of Star Thomas' grasp, and defensive end Cole Nelson recovered it to give the Hokies a chance to potentially tie the game in the final minutes. "When I caused the fumble, it kind of surprised me. I seen the ball, I seen it laying on the ground, I for sure thought it was a scoop-and-score. That’s what I was hoping," Jenkins said. "That’s kind of what I wanted. I was disappointed in anything else. But we got the ball and got our offense a chance to go out there and score. I was happy that I made a play, but I really wish it was a scoop-and-score to win the game." » Tailback Bhayshul Tuten originally injured his left ankle late in the Hokies’ win over Georgia Tech and aggravated the injury two weeks later against Clemson. The setbacks derailed Tuten’s special season that had vaulted him into consideration for All-America status. He could have opted out for the remainder of the season and turned his attention to a professional career, but elected to finish out the season with the Hokies. “Just finishing with my guys. Since winter we’ve been grinding out to finish the season strong, and that’s my goal to stick by my brothers and not give up so early because of a little bang up,” Tuten said. “I’ve got time to heal after the season, so I’d rather finish out the last couple of games for the year and take a couple of weeks off to get healthy.” » Tuten rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown last week at Duke to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark. He became the 19th player in program history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. “Definitely a big achievement. I didn’t get to hit it last year, so coming in with the year I’ve had this year, definitely a great feeling,” Tuten said. “That’s a team goal for the offense. The O-line did their thing. It’s not just a goal for me, but it’s a goal for everyone. When I accomplished that goal, it’s a team effort.” » Xayvion Turner-Bradshaw has shifted focus to defense in recent weeks. The Graham High School product arrived at Tech as a slot receiver and he served as Jaylin Lane ’s primary backup last season, but he fell on the depth chart behind Lane, Ayden Greene and Takye Heath this season. Turner-Bradshaw was seen warming up with the defensive backs prior to last weekend’s game at Duke. “We started messing with it a few weeks back. You know, like all these skill guys, if it’s not working out on one side, you want to give them a shot on the other,” Pry said at his Tuesday press conference. “Right now, he’s embraced it. He’s giving it a go. He’s got great speed and quickness. It’s hard, whether you’re covering the receiver in the slot or out to the big field. You need a really good skill set to do that, and he has that, as far as speed and quickness. So we’ll give him a shot at it and see where it goes.” » Freshman Quentin Reddish did not play for the first time since the season opener. Pry said Reddish was injured and it came down to a “pregame decision” for him to not play. Reddish wore No. 25 for the game. Reddish’s injury meant Devin Alves got his most extensive playing time as the third safety. He primarily played at field safety with Jaylen Jones dealing with an undisclosed injury. “He dressed for the game and the medical staff didn’t feel good about him going, so he didn’t play at all,” Pry said of Reddish. “Devin got some snaps, did a nice job in pass coverage. Got a couple guys on the ground in perimeter tackling. We didn’t ask him to do much down in the box, but I thought from a coverage standpoint he did fine.”New MRI technique identifies heart disease risk from fat composition
