A parachuter has been recovering after crashing into Virginia Tech's scoreboard during the spring game at Lane Stadium. The parachuter was carrying an American flag and had to disorientate entry due to high winds. The start of the game was delayed for over an hour and was caused by the incident. First-year coach James Franklin expressed relief at the outcome and thanked first responders for their swift response. The incident was an unexpected and terrifying moment for the Hokies, who wrapped up spring drills in front of a record crowd for a scrimmage. The team's performance was praised by fans and coaches alike as they prepare for the upcoming ACC season.
