Roanoke (Va.) North Cross School receiver Demarcus Brown tells Rivals he has flipped his commitment from Virginia to Virginia Tech.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Brown becomes commit No. 10 for head coach James Franklin and the Hokies in the 2027 class.

Brown is one of the most prolific players in the state, turning 53 receptions into 1,112 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior with over 60 tackles six interceptions and two forced fumbles when playing defense.

Future position coach Fontel Mines was the lead recruiter for Brown who had been a verbal to Virginia since December. Once Franklin and the new staff landed at Virginia Tech they quickly prioritized Brown.

Now they have him in the fold.

Rivals ranks Brown as the nation’s No. 49 receiver and No. 10 prospect overall in the state of Virginia.

This Hokies class has some dynamic playmaking ability with Brown joining fellow receiver Anthony Roberts, along with running backs Kelvin Morrison and Stanley Smart as part of the fold.

Virginia Tech is in the mix for a Top25 class this cycle. Browns adds to a haul that Rivals previously ranked No. 31.

RICHMOND, Va. — Winston Hodges, a Cartersville, Virginia native who launched his comedy career at the Richmond Funny Bone in Short Pump, is now one of six remaining comedians on the Netflix series “Funny AF with Kevin Hart,” competing for a Netflix comedy special and a cash prize.

The Virginia Tech graduate and 35-year-old comedian has opened for several major acts and become a regular at New York’s Comedy Cellar.

Hodges said his Richmond roots are where it all began.

“I saw that the Richmond Funny Bone had a competition, and I entered into the competition 11 years ago called Clash of the Comics, and I ended up winning the competition,” Hodges said. “After that point, it was just like, I guess I just do stand up. So I was doing stand up around Richmond the first five years of my career before I moved to Washington DC.”

He said winning the show could be a turning point.

“To win the show would absolutely change the trajectory of my career,” Hodges said. “The winner gets a Netflix special. I’d be able just to kind of jump the line and get an opportunity… it could catapult my career to heights that I never, ever even thought possible.”

The competition culminates with live finale episodes on May 4 and 5 at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Netflix subscribers can vote in real time using their TV remote or the Netflix mobile app, but only while watching live.
