Recently, Virginia Tech football has been experiencing considerable success, particularly in recruiting under head coach Brent Pry and his staff. A significant achievement has been reconnecting with the state of Virginia, evident in their Class of 2025 commitments, where 10 out of 14 current recruits hail from the Commonwealth.
The class includes standout four-star recruits Micah Matthews, a versatile athlete projected as a wide receiver known for his playmaking ability, and Brett Clatterbaugh, a highly regarded linebacker. Their commitment has bolstered Virginia Tech’s national profile, as noted by Craig Haubert of ESPN, who ranked them in the Top 40 after a strong recruiting month, despite being previously unranked.
Haubert highlighted Matthews’ potential impact on offense, noting his impressive stats from his junior year and his plans to play baseball as well. Matthew Outten, another key recruit, adds further depth to the receiving corps with his size and speed. The addition of quarterback A.J. Brand, known for his strong arm and dual-threat capabilities, further strengthens the offensive lineup.
Defensively, Clatterbaugh’s skills as a top prospect in Virginia stand out, praised for his recognition and physical presence. Safety Sheldon Robinson and edge defenders Christian Evans and Zeke Chinwike also bring defensive depth and talent to the Hokies.
Overall, Virginia Tech’s recruiting efforts for the Class of 2025 have been a resounding success, reflecting Coach Pry’s strategic focus on building a strong foundation for the future of the program.
