Khurtiss Perry, an Alabama transfer, has committed to Virginia Tech.
Khurtiss Perry, a transfer from Alabama, visited Virginia Tech recently, and it seems they impressed him because, according to Pete Thamel, he committed to the Hokies on Tuesday night. This adds another quality defensive lineman to Pry and his staff’s defensive unit. Perry passed on Louisville, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Virginia Tech.
Perry was regarded as a four-star talent coming out of high school and was ranked as the 54th overall prospect in the Class of 2022 by 247Sports. This is 247Sports’ assessment of him upon his graduation from high school.
Pry added linebacker Sam Brumfield from Middle Tennessee State and offensive lineman Montavious Cunningham from Georgia State in addition to the athletes already named. Quarterback Collin Schlee from UCLA committed to Virginia Tech last month after Dylan Wittke committed to Minnesota for the 2024 campaign through the spring transfer portal.
