Wittke is a former three-star recruit out of Buford High School in Georgia. ESPN ranked him the No. 40 pocket passer in the Class of 2023 but he didn’t see any playing time for the Hokies last season.
He’ll join quarterbacks Max Brosmer, Max Shikenjanski and Drake Lindsey on the roster and since he redshirted last season, he will have four years of eligibility remaining.
