Irvin Flips to Hokies

Virginia Tech just pulled off a major recruiting coup, landing four-star linebacker Amarri Irvin — who flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to the Hokies after a weekend visit to Blacksburg. Irvin, one of the top LBs in his class and a standout at IMG Academy, had been committed to Notre Dame since last November but clearly warmed to Virginia Tech’s pitch. With James Franklin’s new staff building strong rapport with recruits, this move underscores the Hokies’ recruiting surge since Franklin took over in December — and Irvin’s commitment now makes him the first linebacker in the 2027 class, adding serious firepower to a rapidly improving roster.
