Virginia Tech’s compact, high-energy back with upside as a downhill runner
Chance Black is a 6'1", 199-pound Virginia Tech running back who enters 2025 with no recorded college stats yet, so the appeal is projection: he has the frame to handle contact and the profile of a developmental runner worth watching for physicality and upside. The key question is whether his practice-to-game translation can match the buzz around his size and commitment-level fit, because the public record here is thin and does not yet show on-field production or injury history at Virginia Tech. If you want an early-cycle RB bet rather than a proven stat producer, he is the kind of player whose value depends on how quickly his traits show up on Saturdays.[1][4]
