Virginia Tech Joins Elite Programs in Final 5 for Class of 2026 Star Safety Nick Reddish
The recruiting season for the Class of 2026 is heating up, and Virginia Tech is already making its mark. While the Hokies have secured a commitment from wide receiver Carnell Warren out of South Carolina, head coach Brent Pry is hard at work recruiting more talent, with several high-profile prospects set to visit in the coming months, including for the annual Spring Game at Lane Stadium this Saturday.
Among the rising stars is Nick Reddish, a highly sought-after safety from Charlotte, North Carolina, and the younger brother of current Hokie player, Quentin Reddish. As recruiting heats up, many of the top prospects are narrowing down their lists of potential schools, and Nick Reddish has made his decision public. On Sunday evening, he revealed his Final 5 schools, and Virginia Tech has made the cut, alongside powerhouse programs such as North Carolina, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and Indiana. His decision is set to come on July 11, leaving fans and analysts alike eagerly awaiting his choice.
While Nick Reddish has been garnering attention this spring, his older brother Quentin has also been a focal point for Virginia Tech fans. Quentin, a standout safety at Tech, has been sidelined recently due to a foot injury, with reports indicating he was seen wearing a boot during practice. However, the Reddish family name is one that will continue to generate buzz in college football for years to come.
For Virginia Tech, securing a commitment from Nick Reddish would be a huge win in their recruiting efforts, especially as they aim to bolster their defensive backfield. As one of the top safety prospects in the Class of 2026, Reddish has the potential to make an immediate impact wherever he lands, and the Hokies are in the hunt to add another key player to their roster.
With recruiting season in full swing, all eyes will be on July 11, when Nick Reddish announces his commitment. Virginia Tech’s inclusion in his Final 5 shows they’re serious contenders for his talents, and fans are hopeful that this highly-rated safety could soon be making plays in Lane Stadium.
