Two people familiar with the situation tell The Associated Press that Virginia Tech is finalizing a deal to make Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry its next head coach. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because details were still being worked out and neither school was prepared to make a formal announcement. Pry has been with Penn State since 2014, first as co-defensive coordinator before becoming the sole defensive coordinator in 2016. Penn State has ranked in the top five in defense in the Big Ten every season since he has been there. Justin Fuente left Virginia Tech earlier this month after he went 43-31 in six seasons with the Hokies.
