Virginia Tech Recruiting: Two 2026 Prospects Set Official Visit Dates with the Hokies
While February may not be the busiest month for recruiting, it’s an essential time for setting up official visits for the summer months—the prime time for college football recruiting. Virginia Tech has been hard at work lining up visits with top-tier prospects, and today, the Hokies announced two more exciting additions to their upcoming summer schedule.
Jayden Covil, a promising 2026 defensive back from Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, Virginia, confirmed he will be visiting Virginia Tech from June 20th to June 22nd. Covil, a standout player at the high school level, has already garnered attention from several schools, with offers from Charlotte, Duke, Virginia, and Old Dominion, among others. As a highly sought-after prospect, his visit to the Hokies could be a pivotal moment in his recruitment journey.
The other exciting addition to Virginia Tech’s visit list is three-star edge rusher Kamren Johnson, who plays for Green Run High School in Virginia Beach. Johnson, ranked as the No. 75 edge rusher in the nation and the No. 14 player in Virginia by 247Sports, will also be making the trip to Blacksburg from June 20th to June 22nd. Known for his explosiveness off the edge, Johnson has received offers from several programs, including Charlotte, Duke, Liberty, Michigan State, Temple, and Virginia. His recruitment is heating up, and a visit to the Hokies could be a game-changer as he continues to narrow down his options.
Both Covil and Johnson are standout athletes who have the potential to make an immediate impact at the next level, and their visits to Virginia Tech will be crucial in the Hokies’ pursuit of top-tier talent. With the summer visits fast approaching, the Hokies are positioning themselves to compete for some of the best prospects in the 2026 class. As the recruitment process intensifies, all eyes will be on these visits to see where the Hokies stand in the race for these elite players.
