Here’s the latest on Virginia Tech’s recruiting front 🏈:
Kamdon Gillespie, a 6‑foot‑3, 245‑lb three‑star defensive lineman from Mooresville, NC, has committed to the Virginia Tech Hokies for the 2026 class, choosing VT over finalists like Georgia Tech, Boston College, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
- He joins fellow DL commits Kamren Johnson, Joshua Pittman, and Will Love, strengthening what is shaping up to be a robust defensive front for VT ([gobblercountry.com][1]).
- A multi‑sport athlete who pitches in baseball, Gillespie brings notable athletic versatility and upside to the Hokies.
- His commitment follows the de-commitment of WR Carnell Warren earlier in the week, making Gillespie’s pledge a timely boost.
🔍 What This Means for Tech
Virginia Tech appears focused on reloading defensively, particularly along the line. With two edge/DE commits (Gillespie & Johnson), alongside interior presence from Pittman, the Hokies are building a versatile front under coach Brent Pry—and those 2026 additions could be central to that vision.
🗓 Date Check: This commitment was announced on June 14, 2025, making it official as of that weekend.
✅ Bottom Line
Gillespie’s decision adds momentum to Virginia Tech’s 2026 recruiting cycle, fortifying its defensive front and underscoring the program’s appeal despite earlier roster shifts.
