## Resource

Virginia Tech just pulled off a major recruiting coup with the commitment of Sam Faniel, a towering four-star tight end from Richmond, set to join the Hokies in 2027. At 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, Faniel is already drawing national attention and is considered one of the top tight ends in his class — and the best Virginia has to offer. With 347 receiving yards and seven touchdowns last season, he’s also headed to the prestigious 2027 adidas Polynesian Bowl. His decision over ACC rivals underscores Virginia Tech’s growing appeal at home. Now with 16 commits, the Hokies’ class jumps to No. 12 nationally — joining stars like Jordan Karhoff and Braxton Salster. This is a clear sign the program is climbing back into elite recruiting territory and building a future-ready roster. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
