Virginia Tech's Franklin Lands Top QB, Class Soars

Virginia Techs new head coach James Franklin is making waves, securing a commitment from four-star quarterback Peter Bourque, the number seven signal caller in the 2027 class. This pledge has propelled Virginia Techs class to thirteenth nationally, putting them in contention for a top ten finish and the top spot in the ACC. Franklin has transformed the class from a lowly ranked one in November 2025 to a top twenty-five contender, flipping four-star defensive lineman Joseph Buchanan, wide receiver Demarcus Brown, and defensive backs Chase Johnson and Elijah Butler. Bourque is the standout commitment, choosing Blacksburg over powerhouses like Georgia and Penn State. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
