Summary
Sam Faniel, Richmond’s elite tight end and top-ranked prospect nationally, just committed to Virginia Tech — staying close to home after weighing offers from Alabama, Florida State, and Texas A&M. A four-star recruit with explosive athleticism and elite hands, Faniel’s basketball background fuels his gridiron dominance. He’ll follow in his brother Alex’s footsteps, earning a spot in the 2027 Polynesian Bowl after impressing at the combine.
