Virginia Tech picked up a huge verbal commitment when Lord Botetourt lineman Gunner Givens selected the Hokies.  He has been one of the Hokies’ top recruiting priorities for this recruiting cycle.  He is the 19th commitment for the 2022 recruiting class.

Givens is ranked by 247 Sports as the No. 126 overall recruit in the country, the No. 4 interior offensive lineman, and the No. 3 player in the state of Virginia.  He chose the Hokies over his other finalist, Penn State, and he is also listed with offers from programs such as UNC, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Louisville, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State.

Givens is a highly-touted recruit by all three of the major recruiting services…

247: No. 126 overall, No. 3 in VA
Rivals: No. 206 overall, No. 6 in VA
ESPN: No. 85 overall, No. 4 in VA

Givens is listed as an offensive lineman by all of the recruiting services, though it’s also possible that he’ll play defensive tackle for the Hokies.  As such, he is listed as a Jumbo Athlete in the TSL recruiting database.

The commitment of Givens represents one of the biggest recruiting wins of the Justin Fuente era, along with Devon Hunter (No. 42), Doug Nester (No. 106) and Dax Hollifield (No. 151).

  1. That highlight film looks like a highlight reel from The Blind Side. Expected him to put a couple of them over the fence.

  5. Open comment to Gunner …. I think I can speak for all Hokies in my heart felt welcoming of you to the Hokie Nation; and also, my hope that you will be a program changer in the likes of Bruce Smith, Eugene Chung, Cornell Brown and Mike Vick

  6. Mr Vice might put up a fight if they try to switch him to defense! Either way Welcome Gunner!
    Its great to be a Hokie!

    1. Based upon his favorable comments about Vice he will probably want to play for him; however, if he has the burst for a future DT he can make a bunch of money there as opposed to interior offensive line.

  7. Hope he is quick enough to play defensive line. Most of his highlights are of him demolishing smaller backers and ends so maybe he can make the switch.
