Benji Gosnell Commits To Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech secured a commitment from 2022 Carroll County High School (Hillsville, VA) tight end Benji Gosnell on Saturday afternoon, per 247Sports. He becomes the first commitment of the Brent Pry era.

Gosnell was committed to Ohio State until July when he reopened his recruitment. His brother plays for UNC, and he eventually chose the Hokies over the Tar Heels. He is originally from Pilot Mountain, NC, and he is also listed with offers from Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisville, Notre Dame, NC State, Penn State, Tennessee, and a few others.

Gosnell is a 4-star recruit by 247 and the No. 17 tight end in the country. He is rated as the No. 12 prospect in the state of Virginia.

Gosnell went down with a leg injury in Carroll County’s third game of the season, and his Hudl highlights show him as playing in just three games, so apparently the injury was significant. As of now, there is no word on when he’ll be 100% healthy again.
