2026 Virginia Tech commit QB Peyton Falzone details his reasons for early commitment
Peyton Falzone, a four-star recruit out of Nazareth (PA) made the decision to end his recruitment process almost 2 years before the early signing period and committed to the Virginia Tech Hokies over offers from major colleges Syracuse and Penn State. Falzone is the 6th ranked quarterback in the state of Pennsylvania and 215th in his class according to 247 Sports.
In an interview with 247 Sports, here’s what Falzone had to say on his early commitment:
“It’s more why not, the family atmosphere around the program and the great coaches made the decision easy. I love everything Coach Pry is about and I am excited to be a part of their journey. I talked to Coach Bowen and Coach Pry earlier in the week discussing my interest in committing, It was something I had been thinking about since my visit and I was just super excited to be apart of Hokie Nation.”
According to 247 Sports, Falzone was also seen at Virginia Tech’s “Hokie Fest” and helping do some early recruitment for his future class of 2026 and did an interview about it:
“I’m obviously locked into Virginia Tech and I want to help build a strong ’26 class. Every time I get on campus it feels more like home. The coaches have found great guys and I’m going to help out anyway I can to bring them home.”
Having a quarterback coming in at 6 foot 5 and can see over defenses, scramble, and throw the ball far down the field is very exciting for the Virginia Tech Hokies’ class of 2026. Falzone gels well with what offensive coordinator Tyler Bowen and head coach Brent Pry are looking for. History shows Virginia Tech likes to have versatile duo-threat quarterbacks such as Michael Vick, Tyrod Taylor, and Kyron Drones all of which future Hokies quarterback Peyton Falzone brings to the team.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
