"As the 2026 recruiting cycle reaches the stretch run, Georgia, LSU, Maryland, Oklahoma, Texas and a reenergized, James Franklin-led Virginia Tech are among the major programs looking to dazzle top recruits in Week 13, only 12 days from the 2026 early signing period (Dec. 3-5). The most interesting recruiting weekend across the country, surprisingly, is in Blacksburg, Virginia, where Franklin and the Hokies are hosting some 2026 prospects, including top uncommitted quarterback Troy Huhn, on Saturday, days after Franklin's introductory news conference."
"The Hokies have logged just one top-20 finish in ESPN's team class rankings since 2010. From 2021 to 2025, the program signed just five ESPN 300 recruits. Invigorating Virginia Tech's presence on the recruiting trail is one of Franklin's challenges in his new job, and the former Penn State coach is getting to work fast this weekend. With interim coach Philip Montgomery still on the sidelines,"
Top college programs are hosting high-end 2026 prospects in Week 13, with just 12 days until the early signing period (Dec. 3-5).

Texas will host a critical group led by LSU offensive tackle pledge Brysten Martinez. Maryland expects a recruiting visit from top uncommitted wide receiver Davion Brown. Virginia Tech historically has struggled in recruiting, signing only five ESPN 300 recruits from 2021-2025, making the current weekend pivotal for momentum.
