Franklin’s Hokies Class Surges | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

James Franklin flipped Virginia Tech’s recruiting fortunes in just two weeks, catapulting the class from 124th to top 25 and landing eight four-star recruits — including historic depth at QB, RB, WR, and TE. Franklin’s no-nonsense approach demands competition from day one, and a handful of freshmen are already primed to make an impact: Messiah Mickens, the top-10 Pennsylvania RB and first such commit in a decade; Davion Brown, a high-ceiling receiver in a thin room; Terry Wiggins, a top-tier linebacker; Amauri Polydor, a surprise standout cornerback who flipped from Penn State; and T-Ron Richardson Jr., a Virginia native who flipped from Oklahoma and earned reps due to injuries — all under Franklin’s pressure-cooker philosophy, ready to see the field.
