BREAKING: Another highly rated gifted player shock Virginia Tech Hokies fans, decommit from program

Four-star quarterback announced on Wednesday that he is no longer committed to Virginia Tech.

The 6-foot-5, 200-pound junior from Nazareth, Pennsylvania, had been committed to the Hokies since June. However, after Virginia Tech’s disappointing 5-6 season, he has taken visits to Ohio State and Penn State in the past month and is also planning trips to Iowa and Syracuse this week.

“After deep thought and consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to decommit from Virginia Tech at this time,” He wrote in a statement on X. “From day one, my family and I were treated with love and respect by the entire staff at Virginia Tech. I am deeply thankful to coach (Brent) Pry, coach (Tyler) Bowen and everyone in the Hokie family who believed in me and supported my development. I’ll always have great respect and love for Blacksburg and the Hokies.

“Reflecting on discussions with my family, I felt it was necessary to make this change. It didn’t feel right to be visiting other schools while being locked in with Virginia Tech. I owe it to myself, my family and the schools recruiting me to be fully invested in every opportunity I receive during this important time.

“Reopening my recruitment, I am eager to embrace the next steps in this journey. I’m looking forward to working hard this offseason, not only to continue growing as a quarterback but also as a teammate and leader. This new chapter is an opportunity to grow, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.”

Falzone is ranked as the No. 15 quarterback in the 2025 class by On3.com, with the site’s composite industry ranking placing him as the No. 181 overall prospect in the nation. He shared with the site that Nazareth has a strong connection with Penn State, where former players Jahan Dotson and Jake Wilson played.

“I’ve been to Penn State games growing up,” Falzone told On3.com. “It’s always an awesome experience in Beaver Stadium. It was a great day and it was nice being able to bring my sister and my dad along. I’m glad I was able to see the PSU offense in action.”

Falzone threw for 2,136 yards and 23 touchdowns while adding another 743 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground this season. Along with Virginia Tech and Penn State, he has received offers from Wisconsin, Syracuse, Bucknell and Lehigh, according to 247Sports.com.
