Gerard Johnson
Defensive End, Class of 2024
Frank W. Cox, Virginia Beach, VA
6-4, 235
On Saturday, Virginia Tech received a commitment from Gerard Johnson, a defensive end from Cox High School in Virginia Beach. He's the 13th commit in the class of 2024 for the Hokies, the second defensive end — joining Deric Dandy — and the third from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Brent Pry & Co. offered Johnson in March 2022, and he was on-campus on June 23 for his official visit that sealed the deal. He chose Virginia Tech over Virginia. Other Power 5 offers included Boston College, Duke, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and West Virginia.
His recruiting rankings vary — On3 lists him as the No. 1 prospect in Virginia and a top-150 recruit nationally. Per 247Sports, he's the ninth-best player in the Commonwealth, while Rivals ranks him 22nd. According to the 247Sports Composite and the On3 Industry Ranking, he's No. 6 in VA.
