Virginia Tech Hokies Football Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Virginia Tech just pulled off a major recruiting coup with the commitment of four-star offensive tackle Junior Saunders, a six-foot-six, 270-pound Virginia native who’s now the third blue-chip recruit to pledge this cycle. Saunders, ranked the top offensive lineman in the 2027 class and fourth nationally at his position, elevates Virginia Tech to sixth overall and second in the ACC — ahead of Clemson — with his addition. He chose the Hokies over NC State, Virginia, South Carolina, and Tennessee, despite over 20 offers including Florida and Ohio State. Projected as a right tackle, he may need a redshirt year to develop, but his in-state status and top-500 national ranking make him a huge win for coach James Franklin and a key piece in building a dominant future offensive line.
