Nick Gallo is a crucial player for the Virginia Tech offense, returning from a season-ending injury in 2023. He was expected to be the starting tight end in 2024, but his participation in the season opener against Vanderbilt is uncertain.
During a press conference, Coach Pry indicated that while Gallo may still play in the opener, he may not be fully recovered. He stated, “He’s not 100 percent right now. Hopefully, he can get there… I’d say we’re 50-50 if he’s out there playing for us against Vanderbilt.”
Gallo had a significant impact in the 2022 season, finishing with 30 receptions for 256 yards. His performance included notable games such as:
- 11 games played with 11 starts
- Key performances included a career-high of 52 receiving yards against Wofford and 7 receptions for 49 yards against Old Dominion.
- Other highlights: 45 yards on 2 catches against Liberty, and a critical 16-yard catch on fourth-and-9 against Miami.
tGallo’s presence is vital for the Hokies as they prepare for the upcoming season.
