Hokies Recruiting Class Breakdown with Kolby Crawford - UVA Recap | Two Deep

December 5, 2025·1 hr 54 min·9 clips

A new coach vows to pour his heart into Virginia Tech, calling it a big-time program, right before signing day.

Signing day sets the table. After the usual community chatter, the football talk settles into where Virginia Tech helped itself and where the roster still feels a little unfinished. Hoon gets the longest look in the recruiting segment. Colby talks about him as Franklin's guy from the start: a big pro style quarterback with the arm to layer throws and enough senior year progress to make the room interesting. The tools are easy to see. The crew still keeps the brakes on a bit, because the mobility sounds more like something to wait on than something already proven, even with speed markers in the mix. Carolyn Miller's listener question gives the conversation a useful turn. Instead of just praising players, the group starts sorting through the class by need. Quarterback feels clean. Running back sounds fine with Mickens. Linebacker gets a good review, and the offensive line comes out looking solid. Defensive line is trickier. Colby likes Tiron and Witherington as takes, but the room still seems short one real pass rusher. That edge conversation sticks around. The crew even starts reaching back for Virginia Tech's last homegrown edge difference maker, which tells you exactly what standard fans still have in their heads. This is recruiting talk with forum energy. Rankings, senior seasons, position allowance, staff preference, and actual roster fit all get kicked around. The mood never gets too buttoned up. Jokes, interruptions, YouTube comments, and Hokies shorthand keep it moving. By the end, bowl pick'em, channel reminders, hoops content, and the Go Hokies sendoff fold the breakdown back into a normal fan week.

As heard by us

Signing day becomes a roster check, with the edge-rusher question carrying the main tension.
