3 Key Virginia Tech Football Recruits Set Commitment Dates for This Week

Over this past weekend, Virginia Tech football coach Brent Pry and his staff hosted several recruits in what was the final recruiting weekend. Over a dozen recruits came to Blacksburg and got a first-hand look at the program, and met with coaches and current players.

There were a pair of commitments over the weekend when three-star quarterback AJ Brand picked Virginia Tech over South Carolina and other schools, while three-star linebacker Noah Chambers moved up his commitment date early and committed to the Hokies. There were several other recruits on campus and some who could be considered priorities and there are some decisions coming soon. In fact, three recruits have set announcement dates for the next six days.

A third recruit, three-star offensive lineman Nathaniel Wright announced on his X account and will announce his decision on Thursday at 3 p.m. The 247Sports Crystal Ball Prediction has Wright committing to the Hokies after his official visit this past weekend.
