2025 Four Star Forward Jordan Scott Lists Virginia Tech Among His Final Three Schools
One of the top players in the 2025 class released his final three schools today and Virginia Tech was amongst the final three. Four-Star forward Jordan Scott, who plays at South Lakes High School in Virginia, will decide between the Hokies, Michigan State, and Maryland.

On 247Sports, Scott is a four-star player, ranking as the No. 52 player in the country, the No. 10 small forward, and the No. 2 player in the state of Virginia. This would be a huge addition for Virginia Tech and add to what is a solid recruiting class, who got a big time player last week.
Virginia Tech landed its second commitment in the 2025 class with the addition of four-star center Christian Gurdak. Gurdak (6’9 259 LBS) had predictions to land with the Hokies on the 247Sports Crystal Ball but the Hokies closed the deal last week by adding him.
On 247Sports, Gurdak is the No. 98 player in the country for the 2025 class, the No. 12 center in the country, and the No. 4 player in Washington D.C. He plays at Gonzaga High School in D.C and also had offers from Notre Dame, Penn State, Iowa, and Maryland. Gurdak took official visits to Virginia Tech and Notre Dame in the month of June. Before his commitment today, Virginia Tech’s 2025 class was ranked as the No. 24 class in the country and 7th in the ACC behind Georgia Tech, Florida State, Syracuse, Cal, NC State, and Clemson. Gurdak now joins forward Sin’Cere Jones as members of the Hokies 2025 class.
Right now, Virginia Tech ranks No. 19 in the country for the 2025 recruiting class and that is good enough for No. 5 in the ACC behind Georgia Tech, Florida State, Syracuse, and Cal. If they could land Scott, that would vault the Hokies up the rankings.

Former Virginia Gov Glenn Youngkin hints at political future, says he’s ‘chomping at the bit’ after exit
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signaled his political career may not be over, telling Sean Hannity he still has “more to give” just under three months after leaving office.
“I have more to give. I just do. The one year of campaigning and the four years of running, so five years, went by in five seconds. It was amazing,” Youngkin said on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast.
In the full episode, debuting Tuesday, Youngkin sat down with the Fox News host to discuss his time in office, as well as what things have been like since his term expired in January.

“Every morning [when I was governor], I woke up literally bounding out of bed, ready to roll, and that was the most purposeful I’ve ever felt in my whole life.“
Youngkin oversaw a range of conservative measures passed in the state, including a push to ensure age-appropriate curriculum in public schools.

He also pushed for tax cuts, including efforts to reduce the state’s grocery tax, rolled back COVID-19 restrictions early in his tenure and emphasized tougher public safety policies.
His time in office concluded earlier this year, when Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s administration succeeded his.
“I’ve been out of office for six weeks. I took [my wife] Suzanne on vacation, which she so deserved. She’s been amazing. I think she’s of the best first ladies in America,” he said.

“But six weeks has felt like six years… You’re chomping at the bit.”
While Youngkin stopped short of outlining specific plans for the future, his comments suggest he is keeping the door open to a return to public office.

Denver police arrest man suspected in fatal shooting on E. Virginia Avenue
Denver police have arrested the man they believe was responsible for a fatal shooting on E. Virginia Avenue on Thursday afternoon.
According to an arrest affidavit, the Denver Dispatch Center received a 911 call around 12:35 p.m. to report a shooting in the 10100 block of E. Virginia Ave. The caller told dispatch workers that a white SUV was fleeing the scene.
Responding officers found a man who was critically wounded. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
Investigators reportedly discovered a handgun, the victim’s cellphone and money in the area where the shooting happened. They also located surveillance footage in the area, which appeared to show the victim exiting a white Chevrolet Tahoe as gunshots could be heard. He walked to the east, looking for help, before collapsing on the ground.
The affidavit says a conversation was discovered on the victim’s Instagram account in which he was speaking with another person who was selling a firearm.
Aurora police assisted investigators using the Flock License Plate Reader system, identifying the Tahoe at several locations. Police said the vehicle had unique characteristics on the passenger rear wheel. The affidavit says that, before the shooting, the vehicle had a rear license plate, but after the shooting, it was missing.
Investigators found the vehicle, executed a search warrant and found a fired cartridge case in the back seat. A person connected to the case reportedly told officers that he drove his friend, later identified as Daniel Puga Villegas, to meet a person to collect money from him. However, he says an argument took place, and Villegas shot the victim, then ripped off his temporary rear license plate and, while still holding the gun, told him to drive.
Villegas was arrested on Sunday with assistance from the APD and is facing charges of first-degree murder.
