Virginia Tech Football Gains an Underrated Playmaker in Talented SEC Transfer Cameron Seldon
This past winter, Virginia Tech football head coach Brent Pry was active in the transfer portal, adding several key players to strengthen a roster that had seen departures to the NFL Draft. As spring practices progress, it’s becoming clear that these new additions are already making a significant impact. With the Spring Game set for Saturday afternoon at Lane Stadium, Hokies fans will have the chance to see how these fresh faces are shaping up ahead of summer workouts.
One notable absence for Saturday’s Spring Game is quarterback Kyron Drones, who will miss the final week of spring practices due to a medical procedure but is expected to be back for the summer. Despite Drones’ absence, the Hokies have several quarterbacks ready to take the field, and one player to keep an eye on is Cameron Seldon, a transfer from Tennessee who could emerge as a dynamic playmaker on offense this season.
When Seldon initially committed to Virginia Tech, he came with experience at running back. However, a shift to wide receiver could be just what the Hokies need to provide a weapon on the outside for Drones. During spring practices, Seldon has already started to turn heads. In a recent scrimmage, he caught a pass that showcased his potential.
Virginia Tech’s Coach Brent Pry has been impressed with Seldon’s natural ability: “I have been pleasantly surprised,” said Pry after a practice in March. “He catches the ball more naturally than I anticipated. He’s got really good speed. He’s got a great build. He’s been everything that I thought he’d be.”
Ranked as the ninth-best running back in the transfer portal by 247Sports, Seldon’s transition to wide receiver has quickly become a promising development. While he’s expected to contribute as a dual-threat in both the backfield and as a receiver, Pry has even considered using him on the defensive side of the ball, though the focus remains on maximizing his potential offensively.
With the early returns being so promising, it’s clear that Seldon’s versatility and playmaking ability could be exactly what Virginia Tech needs to elevate its offense this season. As spring practices continue and the Hokies prepare for summer workouts, Seldon is certainly a player to watch closely.
