Collin Schlee News, Rumors, Updates - Virginia Tech Hokies

Sees action in bowl loss Schlee completed 2 of 6 passes for 68 yards during Friday's 24-10 defeat to Minnesota. He also had three rushes for seven yards with a touchdown.

Impact William Watson was announced as the Hokies' starter ahead of the game, though Schlee would wind up splitting snaps and account for Virginia Tech's lone touchdown. The senior Schlee appeared in seven games this season, completing 50.9 percent of his passes for 414 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while adding 143 rushing yards and a pair of scores.

Will be QB2 for Mayo Bowl Schlee will be the backup to William Watson in the Duke's Mayo Bowl, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Schlee has played sparingly in 2024, tossing for 346 yards, thee touchdown and one interception while completing 53.1 percent of his passes. The quarterback was unavailable for the Hokies' regular season finale against Virginia, so there was some question about his health for the bowl game. Schlee will be good to go, however, and serve as the second-string signal caller.

Out Saturday Schlee (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's game againt Virginia, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Schlee was not seen participating in pregame warmups and will not be playing in this matchup. Kyron Drones (undisclosed) has also been ruled out, paving way for William Watson to start under center.

Likely GTD, not expected to start Schlee (undisclosed) is likely a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against Virginia and is unlikely to start, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Schlee started in place of Kyron Drones last week but attempted only seven passes prior to departing with an injury himself. It appears as though there's a chance he could see some action in the regular-season finale, but he's unlikely to begin the same under center. Redshirt freshman William Watson is in line to draw the start under center for the Hokies in his place.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain for Week 14 Schlee (undisclosed) remains in injury protocol as the Hokies prepare for Saturday's game against Virginia, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Schlee exited last week's game against Duke with an undisclosed injury and was unable to return to the contest. The 6-foot-3 quarterback has appeared in nine games this season, throwing for 346 yards (26-of-49), three touchdowns and one interception, adding on 136 yards and one score with his legs. With starter Kyron Drones (undisclosed) also questionable for the contest, William Watson, who appeared in relief of Schlee against Duke, is the next man up at quarterback, should Drones and Schlee both miss additional time.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In injury tent Schlee is in the injury tent, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.

Impact The nature of Schlee's injury is unknown. William Watson entered the game for Virginia Tech at quarterback, and Schlee exits with three completions on seven attempts for 67 yards and one touchdown without any turnovers. He also logged six carries for 30 yards.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Schlee (undisclosed) will start on Saturday against Duke, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Schlee will start in place of Kyron Drones (undisclosed), who was ruled out earlier in the evening. The quarterback took over for Drones in the second half last week and played poorly, tossing for 73 yards, a touchdown and an interception while completing just over 40 percent of his passes.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes over for struggling Drones Schlee was 7-for-17 passing for 73 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 24-14 defeat versus Clemson. He also had five rushes for 28 yards.

Impact Schlee took over in the third quarter after a Drones interception with the Hokies already down 21-7 was apparently the last straw. Schlee, who started against Syracuse with Drones absent, wasn't much better. While he did throw a touchdown, it came with the game essentially out of reach already. There may be some intrigue at quarterback this week in Blacksburg.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice in place of Drones Schlee completed 16 of 24 passes for 206 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-31 overtime defeat to Syracuse. He also had 19 rushes for 54 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Schlee put together a respectable performance in the absence of starter Kyron Drones, but it wasn't enough to knock off the Orange. Schlee may very well start again, as there's currently no timetable for Drones' return. He's not a terrible option for the Hokies, as he does offer some dual-threat ability and was solid as a passer against Syracuse. Still, with such a small sample size, he's hard to trust from a fantasy perspective.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets start vs. Syracuse Schlee will get the start for the Hokies with Kyron Drones unavailable, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Schlee is set to make his first start of the season against the Orange. He's thrown all of one pass this fall, but will now take over as Virginia Tech's starting gunslinger for at least one game. Notably, the senior has a dual threat element to his game, similar to Drones, so it'll be interesting to see how much - if at all - Virginia Tech's game-plan changes at Syracuse.

Opens spring on sidelines Schlee (undisclosed) was not on the field for the start of spring practice Tuesday, Bruin Report Online reports.

Impact Head coach DeShaun Foster indicated that he hopes to have Schlee back in the mix later in the week, so there's a good chance Schlee will be ready to participate at some point this spring after getting injured in the team's bowl game versus Boise State. He'll likely slot in behind Ethan Garbers for quarterback duties heading into 2024.

APRIL 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DNP vs. California Schlee (undisclosed) did not play during UCLA's game Saturday against California.

Impact Dante Moore and Ethan Garbers were UCLA's quarterbacks Saturday. Ideally for Schlee, he has enough time to play in a bowl game the Bruins earned an opportunity to participate in sometime during December.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Observed at practice Schlee (undisclosed) was observed participating in Monday's practice, James H. Williams of the Orange County Register reports.

Impact Schlee missed Saturday's game against USC as he nurses an injury. The redshirt junior quarterback's participation in practice bodes well for his chances to see the field for the season finale against California.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Monday Schlee (undisclosed) was not seen practicing Monday after suffering an injury in Saturday's game against Arizona State, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact With starter Ethan Garbers (foot) missing time, Schlee has been filling in under center and will hopefully be available for Saturday's road game against USC. The junior quarterback was injured late in the game after completing 11 of 18 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown. Should he be unavailable, freshman Dante Moore could get the start.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hurt late in loss Schlee was 11-for-18 passing for 117 yards and a touchdown before departing late with an injury in Saturday's loss to Arizona State, Haley Sawyer of the LA Daily News reports.

Impact Schlee put together a decent performance while filling in for Ethan Garbers (foot), though he was spotted leaving the field with assistance in the final seconds of the game. If both Garbers and Schlee, a junior transfer from Kent State, can't play next week vs. USC, freshman Dante Moore would be next in line to re-take the starting job.

Impact Schlee has three rushing touchdowns across his four games in 2023. He has fared much better as a rusher, with 15 carries for 201 yards (13.4 averaged per carry) compared to his three completions and 0:2 TD:INT ratio. Schlee's rushing numbers are what is keeping him afloat as a legitimate option to compete for snaps against Ethan Garbers and Dante Moore.

On track to play Coach Chip Kelly said Schlee (upper body) is on a trajectory to be available for Saturday's game against Colorado, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Schlee was not available last week against Stanford, but has been able to practice and it appears he will take the field against Colorado. Barring a setback, Schlee should be set to resume his usual role as the rushing specialist behind center.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to practice Head coach Chip Kelly indicated Monday that Schlee (upper body) is expected to practice to open up the week, James H. Williams of the Orange County Register reports.

Impact Schlee missed last week's game against Stanford due to the injury sustained against Oregon State. The redshirt junior quarterback will be monitored as the week progresses before his eligibility for Saturday's game against Colorado is determined. Should he be unavailable, Ethan Garbers or Dante Moore would fill in for the Bruins.

OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

No go in warmups Schlee (upper body) did not participate in pregame warmups and appears set to sit out Saturday versus Stanford, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Schlee sustained an upper-body injury on a rushing attempt during last week's loss to Oregon State. While the severity of this issue is still unknown, it appears he'll miss at least one game as a result. With Schlee sidelined, Ethan Garbers and Dante Moore should handle snaps under center for the Bruins, as the former is expected to step into a starting role ahead of Moore in Week 8, according to 247Sports.com.
