The busy month of recruiting for June is just about in the books for college football coaches. The Class of 2027 commitments are going to pick up again with some key targets making their commitments over the summer before their senior season begins in a couple of months.
So far, for James Franklin and Virginia Tech, things have been booming lately in terms of recruiting. According to 247Sports, their recruiting ranking is climbing inside the Top 10, which is something you figured would happen sooner rather than later under Franklin and his staff.
On Monday, a three-star linebacker, CJ Ohuabunwa, is set to make his commitment at noon. This is an under-the-radar big decision for the Hokies at a position of dire need.
Virginia Tech 3-star LB recruit CJ Ohunabunwa to make commitment Monday
Again, the Hokies are very thin at linebacker in the Class of 2027 under Brent Pry. This is a recruitment that needs to go the Hokies' way. Ohunabunwa is down to Kansas, Florida State, Louisville, and Virginia Tech.
Ohunabunwa, who hails from Norcross, Georgia, was in Tallahassee this weekend visiting Florida State and Mike Norvell. If there is a coach who needs to hit it big recruiting with Ohunabunwa, it's Norvell and the Seminoles. FSU has already had a linebacker de-commit, so this was a big visit for Florida State this weekend after being a late addition to their visitor list.
Ohuabunwa had a very productive junior season, registering 124 tackles, eight for a loss, two sacks, and an interception. Aside from his stop with Florida State, Ohuabunwa visited Louisville on June 5, Kansas on June 9, and Virginia Tech last weekend.
This is a big decision looming for Virginia Tech. If they lose out, the chances are rather high that they lose him to either FSU or Louisville. Sure, they could also lose him to Kansas, but a loss to an ACC foe is tough to swallow. We'll find out soon enough what Ohuabunwa decides. Last week, FSU picked up a commitment from three-star edge Jaxon Holly over Virginia Tech. Does Franklin return the favor?
