It’s been a good week for Virginia Tech offensive line coach Matt Moore. Coach Moore celebrated Independence Day early with the commitment of four-star offensive tackle Thomas Wilder.
Two days later, Moore reeled in another offensive lineman for the 2026 recruiting class when Adrian “Ace” Hamilton picked the Hokies.
The 6-foot-2 1/2, 290-pound Hamilton is from Washington, D.C., and plays for St. John’s College High School. Hamilton is the No. 5 player in D.C. for the 2026 class and the 67th-ranked interior lineman in the entire class, per 247Sports. Hamilton is a consensus three-star recruit.
