Hokie ClubHokie Nation,
Yesterday's announcement marked the start of an exciting new era for Virginia Tech Football. With the introduction of James Franklin as our next head football coach, Hokie Nation takes another powerful step forward in pursuit of sustained excellence.
Coach Franklin’s record speaks for itself. He's led his teams to a College Football Playoff appearance, four New Year’s Six bowl victories, multiple nationally ranked recruiting classes, and a proven ability to develop student-athletes both on and off the field. But beyond the wins and accolades, he brings a relentless drive, infectious energy, and a vision that aligns perfectly with our aspirations for Virginia Tech Athletics.
His arrival comes at a pivotal moment. The college athletics landscape is transforming rapidly, and our commitment to remaining nationally competitive has never been stronger. Earlier this semester, the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors approved a bold four-year investment designed to position Hokie Athletics among the nation’s best.
That investment, combined with your continued support, will ensure that we deliver the championship-caliber experience our student-athletes and fans deserve. The Invest to Win fund is central to that effort, as it provides the resources needed to recruit, retain, and elevate excellence across all sports. Please stay tuned next week for the launch of our new comprehensive campaign surrounding Invest to Win and a refreshed set of fundraising priorities for Virginia Tech Athletics.
Now is the time for every Hokie to be part of this momentum. Your generosity and belief in what Virginia Tech stands for make these moments possible. Join us in fueling this next chapter by supporting the Invest to Win fund to help set the standard for what’s next.
Together, we will build, compete and win, now and for years to come.
Go Hokies!
