Virginia Tech’s Star Recruit Katie Sears Continues to Shine with Another Major Award
Virginia Tech women’s basketball continues to make waves on the recruiting front, and one of its brightest prospects, Katie Sears, is proving why Hokies fans should be thrilled about the program’s future. A standout in the Class of 2025, Sears was one of the first major commitments secured by new head coach Megan Duffy, who took over the reins following Kenny Brooks’ departure.
Sears, a highly sought-after four-star talent, chose Virginia Tech over more than two dozen offers from top programs across the country. The talented guard from Watauga High School in Boone, North Carolina, has been a dominant force on the court, earning recognition at both the state and national levels.
Already named the North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year, Sears just added another major accolade to her growing list of accomplishments—being crowned the 2024-25 North Carolina MaxPreps High School Girls Basketball Player of the Year. This latest honor further solidifies her status as one of the top high school players in the nation and an exciting future asset for the Hokies.
With Sears’ talent, leadership, and ability to make an immediate impact at the collegiate level, Virginia Tech’s future under Coach Duffy looks incredibly promising. Hokies fans can expect big things from this rising star as she continues to dominate high school basketball before making her way to Blacksburg.
