One player in the Class of 2026 who knows a lot about Virginia Tech is defensive lineman T-Ron Richardson. During his recruiting process in the spring, the Hokies and former coach Brent Pry were in the mix for the Hopewell, Virginia, native.
Before making his commitment in August, Richardson was close to committing to the Hokies, but Oklahoma swooped in and got his commitment. Virginia Tech was always a place that was going to be in the mix, and if there was a chance for a flip, it would be to the Hokies.
Virginia Tech hired James Franklin two weeks ago, and he hit the ground running in recruiting.
