Virginia Tech Lands Five-Star Commitment to Replace Luke Stuewe
Blacksburg, VA – Virginia Tech has secured a major win on the recruiting trail, landing a five-star commitment to fill the void left by the departure of standout wide receiver Luke Stuewe. The Hokies announced today that they have successfully signed Jaden Thompson, one of the top high school receivers in the nation, who is expected to make an immediate impact on the field.
Thompson, a 6’2″, 195-pound receiver from Atlanta, GA, has been a highly sought-after recruit, with offers from several powerhouse programs including Alabama, Georgia, and Clemson. Known for his blazing speed, precise route-running, and exceptional hands, Thompson has been ranked among the top 10 players in the 2024 recruiting class.
In a statement following his commitment, Thompson expressed his excitement about joining the Hokies. “Virginia Tech felt like home from the moment I stepped on campus. The coaching staff, the facilities, and the fans all made me feel welcome. I can’t wait to get to work and contribute to this team,” Thompson said.
Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry hailed Thompson’s commitment as a game-changer for the program. “Jaden is a special talent who has the potential to be one of the best receivers in college football. We’re thrilled to have him on board, and we believe he can step in and make a difference right away,” Pry said.
Luke Stuewe, who played a key role in the Hokies’ offense, recently announced his decision to transfer, leaving a significant gap in the receiving corps. Thompson’s arrival is expected to help fill that void and keep the Hokies’ offense on track for success in the coming seasons.
With Jaden Thompson now in the fold, Virginia Tech fans have plenty to be excited about as the team continues to build for the future. The Hokies’ recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory, and Thompson’s commitment is a clear indication that the program is on the rise.
