The beginning of June means it’s official visit time in college football. Teams from around the country host some of their top recruiting targets for the weekend in hopes of landing their commitment.
The Virginia Tech Hokies opened the month by hosting a handful of players last weekend. Thus far, those visitors have not made any commitments—at least not publicly yet. Virginia Tech’s 2026 class is off to a slow start, with only three commitments, but that’s normal at this time of the year. Tech often picks up commitments throughout the summer months leading up to the opening of the new college football season.

One of VT’s top targets is scheduled to make his college decision on June 13. Kamren Johnson, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound edge rusher from Green Run High School in Virginia Beach, will decide between the Hokies, Virginia and Pittsburgh.
Good news for Virginia Tech: Johnson will be in Blacksburg this weekend for his official visit. That means Brent Pry will get the last chance to impress Johnson before he makes his decision.
According to 247Sports’ rankings, Johnson is Virginia’s No. 33 overall prospect for 2026. The Hokies have one commitment from Virginia thus far, linebacker Joshua Pittman from Suffolk, and he’s the 20th-ranked player.
The current top 10 in the state doesn’t look good for the Hokies. Another top-10 player, offensive lineman Carter Scruggs, committed to Clemson on Thursday. VT’s best chances at landing top-10 players from Virginia in this cycle are wide receiver Travis Johnson (Chesapeake) and offensive tackle Tommy Wilder (Virginia Beach). Johnson and Wilder are teammates at Green Run, a school the Hokies have had success with in recent years.
