Blacksburg, Virginia — Virginia Tech football gave the media plenty of material when all 12 assistant coaches were made available, offering an inside look at the team heading into the heart of summer workouts. The sessions allowed reporters to hear directly from each coordinator and position coach as they prepare for the upcoming season. The coaching staff discussed the growth they have seen since spring practice and highlighted several younger players who are starting to make a strong impression.

Quarterbacks coach Danny O’Brien noted that because the playbook verbiage is no longer brand new, this summer allows them to dive into more advanced details and truly master the concepts. Meanwhile, head coach and defensive coordinator Brent Pry shared his excitement about being back in the coordinator’s chair, stating that he is incredibly energized by his staff and players. The Hokies are set to kick off their season at Lane Stadium against VMI on September 5.

Jeremy Jenkins, a four-star power forward in the 2027 class, tells Rivals he’s down to ten schools. Moving forward, the 6-foot-9 rising senior out of Riviera Prep (FL) will consider Dayton, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Indiana, NC State, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Washington, West Virginia, and Xavier.

Jenkins is currently in the process of scheduling official visits.

Prior to trimming his list, he held offers from USC, Arizona State, BYU, Oklahoma State, Villanova, Oregon, Georgetown, Kansas, LSU, Oklahoma, Georgia, Mississippi State, and others.

Jenkins is ranked as the No. 41 overall prospect in the 2027 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is also the No. 5 power forward nationally.

During the Nike EYBL season with Nightrydas, Jenkins has averaged 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.

At the NBPA Top-100 Camp last week, Jenkins averaged 10.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, earning recognition as one of the event’s top performers from Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw, who had the following to say about his game:

“Jeremy Jenkins is a physical specimen. He bullied his way to consistent production in his second game of the day, rebounding the ball and finishing at the front of the rim. There is not a ton of wiggle in his game, but he gets downhill with a purpose and showed some passing abilities. He also knocked down the two free throws that sealed the win for his team. He’s someone who simply competes.”
