Virginia Tech football recruiting: Brent Pry lands first big fish in Benji Gosnell

New Virginia Tech football coach Brent Pry aced his first recruiting test Saturday. Four-star tight end/linebacker Benji Gosnell ended his recruitment, picking the Hokies, and plans on signing with Virginia Tech on Dec. 15.

Gosnell is a 6-foot-5, 240-pound athlete from Carroll County High School in Hillsville, Virginia. Gosnell is originally from Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, and his family moved to Carroll County before his senior season. He was injured in 2021 and missed most of the season with a knee injury. He plans on enrolling in January.

Gosnell spoke about his decision with Evan Watkins of 247Sports.
