On late Saturday evening, Class of 2027 offensive tackle Luke Braham committed to Virginia Tech. Braham, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound recruit from University High School (Morgantown, W.V.) is the 17th recruit in the Hokies' 2027 class.

Braham's father and brother both played at West Virginia. The Mountaineers offered the rising high school senior. However, Braham went on an official visit to Blacksburg on Friday and committed a day later.
