## Resource

Virginia Tech had an explosive Tuesday, landing top cornerback Austin Barrett — ranked 36th nationally and 12th in-state — who chose the Hokies over Virginia and West Virginia, calling the coaching staff his “home.” Shortly after, the school unveiled Hokie Ventures, a new nonprofit aimed at boosting athletics through smart investments, donor relationships, and adapting to the evolving college sports landscape. The timing is strategic, setting the stage for major growth. And to top it off, they secured another big recruit: 6-foot-6, 295-pound tackle Dylan Latell, who beat out national champions. With 18 and 19 commitments now, Virginia Tech’s 2027 class is ranked ninth nationally — a banner day for the program. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
