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.

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.
