2023-24 Virginia Tech Preview

The Hokies enter 2023 after a year for the record books where they crowned five All-Americans, finished ninth as a team at the NCAA tournament and won a share of the ACC dual title. They only lose one starter to graduation and return a very dangerous team that will be in the hunt for an ACC title and an NCAA team trophy. Last season saw the continued success of Sam Latona, Bryce Andonian, and Mekhi Lewis and the rise of some talented young wrestlers in Eddie Ventresca, Caleb Henson, and Tom Crook. The Hokies continue to reload with strong recruiting classes and are trying to fight their way into the top three teams in the country. It is going to be another fun season in Blacksburg.
