The Virginia Tech Hokies kicked off the upcoming holiday weekend in style, landing a commitment from four-star offensive tackle Thomas Wilder.
Wilder chose the Hokies over his other finalists: Penn State, Maryland and North Carolina. Wilder had an impressive offer list. The 6-foot-6, 295-pound offensive tackle continues Tech’s recent success at Green Run High School in Virginia Beach. The 2026 recruiting class now features Wilder, cornerback Zaevion Cleveland and edge rusher Kamren Johnson from Green Run. Already in Blacksburg from Green Run are wide receiver Keylen Adams, cornerback Knahlij Harrell, defensive lineman Zeke Chinwike and wide receiver Jayden Anderson.
