Bruins backup quarterback lands similar role at Virginia Tech.
Former Bruin Collin Schlee was named as Virginia Tech's backup quarterback, head coach Brent Pry told the media following Wednesday's practice.
The announcement was no surprise given Watson is a redshirt freshman and Schlee has many years of collegiate football under his belt. The quarterback finished among the top ten at Kent State in single-season passing yards with a total of 2,109 yards. Schlee played four seasons there before transferring to UCLA in 2023.
Schlee will back up Hokies star quarterback Kyron Drones. Schlee likely won't see much action on the field if Drones stays healthy throughout the season. But if Schlee is needed, he has a similar build and skill set to Drones which keeps a consistent style for the offense.
