Whitehead Brothers Headed to LSU

Virginia Tech suffered a major blow when five-star edge rusher Chris Whitehead chose LSU over the Hokies — the first time in years they missed out on Virginia’s top recruit — but the program isn’t backing down. With a strong season potentially turning the tide, and a confident coaching staff ready to land other elite talents, the Hokies remain ranked among the nation’s top ten for the 2027 class. Plus, Chris’s younger brother Isaiah, a 2028 offensive tackle, also committed to LSU — meaning the Whitehead brothers will play together in Baton Rouge. While the loss stings, it’s seen as a temporary setback in a program on the rise. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
