It has been 13 days since James Franklin was officially hired as the next football coach at Virginia Tech. The former Penn State coach has hit the ground running in terms of commitments in the Class of 2026.
Over the last five days, he's got commitments from four Penn State flips, including four-star offensive lineman Marlen Bright. He was one of three Thanksgiving Day flips Franklin got. One day later, Bright and his DePaul teammates captured a third Non-Public B New Jersey state title in four years with a win over Paramus Catholic at MetLife Stadium.
