Official NCAA News: Son of Virginia Tech Football Legend Commits to Hokies, Picks Blacksburg Over Clemson
The Virginia Tech Hokies just received another exciting boost for their football program. In a move that will undoubtedly fire up Hokie Nation, the son of one of the most beloved players in Virginia Tech football history has officially committed to the team. The highly regarded recruit announced his decision today, choosing the Hokies over national powerhouse Clemson.
This commitment carries special meaning for Virginia Tech, not only because of the player’s talent but also because of his family connection to the program. His father is considered one of the greatest and most respected figures in Hokies football history, remembered for his leadership, work ethic, and impact on the program during his playing days in Blacksburg. Now, the next generation is set to continue the legacy in the maroon and orange.
The young prospect had drawn major interest from top-tier programs across the country, with Clemson making a strong push to land him. As one of the premier programs in college football over the past decade, Clemson was seen as a serious threat in the recruiting battle. However, Virginia Tech’s strong family ties, player development, and renewed energy under the current coaching staff made the Hokies the clear choice.
Known for his athleticism, versatility, and high football IQ, the newest Hokie is expected to make an immediate impact once he joins the team. Coaches and analysts alike have praised his competitive nature and leadership abilities, noting how he mirrors many of the same qualities that made his father a fan favorite and team captain during his time at Virginia Tech.
In his announcement, the recruit shared his excitement and pride in continuing his family’s legacy at Virginia Tech. “It’s been a dream of mine to wear the Hokies jersey ever since I was a kid watching my dad play,” he said. “This place means everything to my family, and I’m proud to be part of this program.”
His father, who was present for the announcement, also spoke on the significance of the moment. “Virginia Tech helped shape who I am—not just as a player, but as a person,” he said. “To see my son make this decision and commit to the same program means more than words can describe. I know he’s going to make Hokie Nation proud.”
This commitment is not only a win on the recruiting trail but also a powerful symbol of Virginia Tech’s lasting culture and influence. Bringing a legacy player into the fold—especially one who turned down an elite program like Clemson—sends a strong message about where the Hokies are headed. It’s another step forward as the team continues to build for a bright future.
Fans across Blacksburg and beyond are celebrating the news, hopeful that this next-generation star will help return Virginia Tech football to national prominence while honoring a legendary legacy.
