Virginia Tech recently hosted a visit for highly-touted Class of 2025 quarterback Malik Washington, and the Maryland native left with a strong impression of the Hokies. Washington, who plays for Archbishop Spalding, still has visits scheduled with Maryland, Syracuse, and Central Florida.
Although he hasn’t made a final decision yet, Virginia Tech supporters can take comfort in Washington’s positive feelings about Blacksburg. He was recognized as one of the top performers at the Elite 11 2024 event.
Currently, Virginia Tech has a commitment from Kelden Ryan, a quarterback from DeSoto, Texas, in the Class of 2025. However, Washington appears to be a priority for head coach Pry and offensive coordinator Tyler Bowen.
That’s great news! Being recognized as one of the top performers at Elite 11 is a significant achievement for any football player, especially a 4-star recruit like the one from Virginia Tech. It indicates exceptional skill, talent, and potential. It’s not only a testament to the player’s abilities but also reflects positively on the coaching staff and program at Virginia Tech.
This recognition often generates excitement among fans and boosts expectations for the upcoming season. Do you follow college football closely?
Washington’s skill set aligns well with what Virginia Tech values, including a strong arm and the ability to make quick and accurate throws. Looking ahead, it’s anticipated that Pop Watson and incoming freshman Davi Belfort will be in the mix next spring.
Adding Washington to the mix alongside Ryan would strengthen Virginia Tech’s quarterback depth for the future.
