Virginia Tech football picks up commitment from highly sought-after edge
Saying that this has been a huge month for Virginia Tech football coach Brent Pry in terms of recruiting would be a major understatement. Recruiting has been going very well and on Sunday afternoon, the third-year Hokies coach picked up another key commitment.
Six days after Green Run edge Zeke Chinwike committed to Virginia Tech in the Class of 2025, the Hokies got a second commitment in the class from an edge, this time Sherrod Henderson. The Rocky Point, N.C. native is a three-star and picked Virginia Tech over Virginia, Pittsburgh, Duke, Michigan State, West Virginia, and others.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Heide Trask High School is the 20th-ranked player in North Carolina according to 247Sports and he visited Blacksburg last weekend as his last visit of the month. Previously, he visited Duke on May 31, Michigan State on June 7, and South Florida on June 14.
A duel-sport athlete, Henderson had 75 tackles last season as a junior, including 12 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss. Offensively, he rushed for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also is a standout on the basketball court.
Henderson gives Virginia Tech two legitimate edge rushers in the defensive line room in the Class of 2025 with Chinwike. Also committed in the class on the defensive side of the ball are linebacker Brett Clatterbaugh, safety Sheldon Robinson, defensive lineman Christian Evans, cornerback Knahlij Harrell, and linebacker Noah Chambers.
The Hokies are moving up the ranks in terms of recruiting in the Class of 2025 and they are doing it mostly with three-star recruits with Clatterbaugh being a four-star. It would not be surprising to see some of the other players in the class be four stars before ending up on campus. Not to be outdone, the Class of 2026 is off to a good start with quarterback Peyton Falzone committing Saturday night.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.

But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
