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.

Video: Wrong-way bicyclist in the middle of I-264 in Virginia Beach
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va (WAVY) – Drivers along eastbound I-264 experienced a frightening scene Friday. They say a man was riding a bike in between traffic going the opposite direction and swerving into the paths of cars and trucks.
Eyewitness Kelly Nogueira told 10 On Your Side she was driving home to Virginia Beach from the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters (CHKD). She said traffic was moving along at around 60 miles an hour when she noticed cars in front of her slamming on their brakes. Then she spotted the man heading towards her on a mountain bike. She said he was wearing a backpack. She added that this was before the Town Center exits on I-264 eastbound around 11 a.m.
Nogueira added that the man appeared to be riding in the path of oncoming cars and trucks, causing them to swerve to miss him. She said, “It was like he was on a suicide mission or something.”
Nogueira described the scene as “frightening” and said she was still shaken up about it.
Virginia State Police confirmed to 10 On Your Side a male subject was seen setting brush on fire along eastbound I-264 at Laskin Road and then took off on a bike.
When troopers tried talking to him, they say he ran off, but was later caught in the 100 block of North Burwick Crescent.
No injuries were reported.
Nogueira shared this short video clip showing the wrong-way bicyclist.
Detectives are still investigating.
