Garret Rangel Transfers to Virginia Tech from Oklahoma State

Former Oklahoma State quarterback Garret Rangel has transferred to Virginia Tech, aiming to provide depth and compete for the backup role behind starter Kyron Drones. Rangel, a former four-star recruit, brings experience from three seasons at Oklahoma State, where he completed 51.7% of his passes for 1,075 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 13 appearances. His most significant playing time came in 2022, but he also started a game in 2023 before suffering a collarbone injury. Virginia Tech's quarterback room now includes Drones, backup Pop Watson, and several younger players, setting up a competition for the QB2 spot. Analysts consider Rangel an underrated addition who bolsters depth and adds valuable experience. His transfer is part of broader roster changes for both Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State this offseason.
