## Resource

Virginia Tech just locked down a big win in the 2027 recruiting class with three-star cornerback Austin Barrett from Paramus High — a versatile, explosive athlete ranked 36th nationally at his position and 12th in New Jersey. Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing 170 pounds, Barrett racked up 43 tackles, two interceptions including a pick-six, four pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries as a sophomore. His decision was sealed after a personal home visit from cornerbacks coach Nick Perry, highlighting Virginia Tech’s relationship-driven recruiting approach. With Barrett joining Chase Johnson and Elijah Butler in the secondary, the Hokies’ 2027 class now sits at No. 10 nationally — a clear signal of their defensive ambitions. Barrett, who also had offers from Auburn and Michigan State, chose Virginia Tech over big-name programs — a major statement for the program’s future.
