Football at Virginia Tech: One of the top recruits in the country for 2025 confirms an official visit
Football at Virginia Tech is headed in the right direction. Fifteen years ago, Vermont supporters would not have been thrilled by a 7–6 finish and a Military Bowl victory. However, a lot has transpired in the last ten years.
Following a dismal beginning to the previous campaign, the Hokies found their footing under quarterback Kyron Drones, winning five of their final seven games, including several blowouts, and taking fourth place in the ACC.
Since Brent Pry joined the team more than two years ago, the Hokies have performed admirably on the transfer portal. Drones is among the top players for the Hokies who transferred from other schools and will be back in Blacksburg in 2024 for another season.
Pry’s efforts to mend fences in the recruiting arena and that achievement have both paid off in terms of hiring. Lead by four-star wide receiver Keylen Adams and four-star linebacker Gabriel Williams, Tech had a strong class of 2024 recruits.
In 2025, will the Hokies’ class be even larger?
Defensive back Faheem Delane, one of the best in the country, has visited Blacksburg multiple times and gets along well with all of the coaches. Delane is ranked as the 17th overall player for 2025 by 247Sports.
If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Mansoor, Delane’s brother, is a starting cornerback for Virginia Tech and one of their best players. Mansoor Delane is a junior in high school.
Could Faheem go to Blacksburg with his older brother??
The Hokies arranged for Delane to pay a formal visit to Blacksburg this week. The weekend of June 21–23, which Delane will be visiting the Hokies, is expected to be very significant in Blacksburg. Recent changes to the off-season calendar have resulted in most schools scheduling official visits for the summer.
Delane is still probably a long shot for the Hokies, but they are still recruiting him. Granted, having an older brother plays a significant role, but Pry and his team deserve praise for making the most of that bond. Faheem Delane will make an effort, regardless of whether he ends up at Virginia Tech.

The Virginia Tech offence concentrated on the fundamentals, and Kyron Drones is anticipated to advance.
According to the SP+ metrics, Virginia Tech leads the nation in returning production, as Andy Bitter noted earlier this week. The offensive side of the ball accounts for the majority of that output; Dae’Quan Wright, who had 28 receptions for 366 yards, was the only starter lost. However, Ali Jennings’s injury-affected return from last year more than makes up for Wright’s absence.
One might assume that the Hokies will begin spring practice this year with some more advanced drills given their wealth of experience in the system. They are aware of the type of offence they should run, the identity of their quarterback, and, for the most part, what
