Virginia Tech football’s recruiting efforts under head coach Brent Pry are gaining traction, with a recent report highlighting a top offensive target, Kentrell White, scheduling an official visit to Blacksburg for the weekend of June 20, 2025. White, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound wide receiver from Atlanta, projects as a tight end at the collegiate level, offering versatility and size that could bolster the Hokies’ offense. His visit, reported by Gobbler Country, follows a successful unofficial trip earlier in June, signaling Virginia Tech’s growing appeal to high-caliber prospects. Landing White would be a significant win for the Hokies, who are working to rebuild depth at tight end and elevate their 2026 recruiting class.
White’s recruitment is a priority for Virginia Tech, which has signed only one tight end in the past three cycles, per Gobbler Country. With Benji Gosnell returning as the starting tight end in 2025, the Hokies need to secure future talent at the position. White’s high school film showcases his ability as a receiver, but his frame suggests he could thrive as a hybrid tight end, catching passes and blocking in Philip Montgomery’s up-tempo offense. His official visit, timed close to decision season, gives Pry and tight ends coach Brent Davis a chance to solidify Virginia Tech’s position against competitors. White’s social media post on June 9, 2025, tagged coaches and recruiting analysts, amplifying excitement around his return to Blacksburg.
Virginia Tech’s recruiting strategy under Pry emphasizes regional talent and relationship-building, but White’s recruitment shows they’re also competing for out-of-state prospects. The Hokies’ 2025 class included transfers like quarterback Garret Rangel and running back Terion Stewart, while the 2026 class already features commitments like edge rusher Kamren Johnson. White’s addition would diversify the offensive skill set, complementing four-star wide receiver Micah Matthews, who committed in July 2024 and cited Virginia Tech’s “in-state revival” per 247Sports. The Hokies’ pitch likely highlights early playing time, NFL development—evidenced by five 2025 draft picks, including Bhayshul Tuten—and the electric “Enter Sandman” game-day atmosphere.
The official visit weekend is critical, as Virginia Tech hosts other targets like four-star offensive tackle Thomas Wilder, per VTScoop247. Pry’s staff has planned a robust itinerary to showcase facilities, academic support, and Blacksburg’s community, which resonates with recruits. However, competition for White remains stiff, with SEC and ACC schools likely in pursuit, though specific offers aren’t detailed. The Hokies’ momentum, driven by new offensive line coach Matt Moore and coordinator Montgomery, could tip the scales, especially after landing transfer lineman Tomas Rimac.
If White commits, it could elevate Virginia Tech’s 2026 class into the ACC’s upper tier, signaling Pry’s rebuild is ahead of schedule. Fans should follow recruiting updates on HokieSports or 247Sports for confirmation. While unverified claims about top recruits abound, White’s visit is a tangible step toward Virginia Tech’s resurgence.
