Summary
Virginia Tech narrowly missed out on four-star defensive end Rion Jackson, who chose Auburn instead — but don’t panic, the Hokies are still chasing five-star Virginia native Chris Whitehead. Jackson’s commitment came with a playful twist and a nod to the SEC, a factor that’s less influential in today’s NIL era. While the Hokies weren’t willing to overpay for him, they dodged the “academics” excuse. This loss? Barely a blip. With top-tier talent on the horizon and Coach Franklin building for the future, it’s a golden age for Hokie fans. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
