The James Franklin era at Virginia Tech has started. Fifteen days after being hired as the next football coach, Franklin has hit the ground running in recruiting in the Class of 2026. He has flipped several recruits from his previous stop at Penn State and from the SEC and Big Ten. There is surely more to come.
Here is a list of every player who has signed so far with the Hokies:
1. Marlen Bright: OL
SIGNED| 6'7", 290 LB | DePaul Catholic High School |Wayne, NJ | Composite Four Star
Marlen Bright was one of the handful of flips Franklin got from Penn State as he builds an offensive line in the trenches for a program that has struggled to build over the last couple of years.
