In this edition of Virginia Tech Hokies News, a football recruit announced a visit date for later this month, the baseball team bounces back with an offensive outburst in a win, and the softball team remains undefeated in ACC play.
There seems to be a nice connection being formed between Virginia Tech and Green Run High School in Virginia Beach and a Class of 2026 recruit announced a visit date to Blacksburg. Defensive back Shawn Church announced on his X page that he will be visiting the Hokies on March 26.
According to On3the 6-foot-3, 170-pound Church has offers from Duke, Liberty, East Carolina, and Temple, with the Hokies sitting in the middle of the prediction. Recently, Jayden Anderson, a wide receiver, and defensive back Knahlij Harrell both committed to Virginia Tech in the Class of 2025.
The Hokies baseball team dropped the series opener Friday at Louisville but bounced back to win the second game on Saturday, 12-6, over the Cardinals. It was the 11th time this season that Virginia Tech has scored double-digit runs.
