Minnesota TE Pierce Petersohn Commits To Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech and James Franklin have continued their Thanksgiving heater on the recruiting trail, landing Pierce Petersohn, a four-star tight end who was previously committed to Penn State. He is the fourth commitment of the cycle.

Petersohn is listed at the No. 325 player in the nation and the second best player in his home state, Minnesota. He has been committed to Penn State since June of this year up until he flipped today.
He has a solid offers list, garnering attention from Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas State among other suitors.
When he initially committed to Penn State, James Franklin was the head whistle there before being dismissed from that position in October. Petersohn reopened his recruitment, but didn’t decommit or take any other visits until he visited Blacksburg on Nov 22nd.
By definition, 247 has Petersohn listed as a tight end, but he is more of a Bucky Hodges style of tight end. He’s not like Benji Gosnell or Ja’Ricous Hairston, who will play with a hand in the dirt; he is more of a receiver who just has a large body type. Petersohn sits at 6-foot-5, 205 pounds.
That doesn’t mean that he can’t grow into his frame. You can’t prediction the future. It is very possible that he doesn’t see the field for a year or longer and is able to put on 25-30 pounds and get up to being around the lower end of a traditional tight end (though he would still be about 30 pounds less than Gosnell, who stands at the same height).
It’s pretty difficult to gauge just how good of a tight-end he is since he played quarterback in high school. That shouldn’t be any cause for concern; most high schools will give the ball to the best athlete on the team unless they truly possess a guy with a great arm. These D1 level athletes are leaps and bounds ahead of the average high school player.
It is difficult to get an accurate read on him; his high school numbers on MaxPreps aren’t very accurate. In his junior year, 24/7 reports that he threw for nearly 1,500 yards and 17 touchdowns while rushing for over 380 yards and scoring nine touchdowns. He was also strong on defense, intercepting three passes.
He also played basketball and track, showcasing that he is an exceptional athlete. He won MVP of the Minnesota State Track Meet in his junior season. He ran 11.24 in the 100 meter and a 22.18 in the 200 meter.
Petersohn showcases elite speed with a big body while still being undersized. My honest expectations for him are that he will redshirt as a true freshman and spend the season putting on about 10-15 pounds of good weight to be ready to contribute in 2027.

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.
