Virginia Tech football: Hokies land commitment from local linebacker

On Monday night, the Virginia Tech Hokies added their second commitment for the 2025 recruiting class when offensive tackle Carter Stallard pledged to the Hokies. While an excellent prospect, it doesn't hurt that Stallard is from right down the road in Christiansburg.

The Hokies weren’t finished adding local talent. On Wednesday, Salem linebacker Jaelyn Allen accepted a priority walk-on opportunity from the Hokies over scholarships from other schools.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Allen announced his commitment via X (Twitter).

I am extremely proud to announce my commitment towards VIRGINIA TECH!! Thank to everyone who helped me along the way!
