About TechSideline.com’s Recruiting Rankings
TechSideline.com has maintained lists of the top in-state recruits dating back to 2003. We also have archived lists of the Roanoke Times rankings of in-state recruits (compiled by Doug Doughty) dating back to 1988. For a complete archival listing of past rankings, please click here.
TechSideline.com has been covering Virginia Tech football and Virginia Tech football recruiting since 1996. In late 2000, we hired Chris Horne, our first dedicated football recruiting writer. Horne released his first proprietary set of in-state recruiting rankings in 2003, and created and maintained our lists until Chris Coleman took over recruiting rankings with the 2016 in-state class.
For more recruiting information, please see the following references:
- Our football recruiting database, which contains players dating back to 1985. Every Virginia Tech football signee is in our database back to that year, and we have even applied retroactive star rankings to players back into the 1980s.
- Our TSL Pass Recruiting Message Board, and our TSL Pass Recruiting Articles. TechSideline.com TSL Pass subscriber service gives you access to lots of great recruiting information on our site, for much less than what our competition costs.
