Virginia Tech continues to make strides on the recruiting trail, with the Hokies emerging as a leading contender for one of the nation's top quarterbacks in the 2028 recruiting class.
Four-star quarterback Anthony Turner, a standout at Landstown High School in Virginia Beach, has Virginia Tech firmly in the mix for his commitment. The Hokies have been viewed as a favorite throughout his recruitment, with multiple recruiting analysts predicting Turner will ultimately land in Blacksburg.

Turner, who stands approximately 6-foot-5 and weighs 190 pounds, is rated as the No. 5 quarterback nationally and No. 1 overall prospect in Virginia by 247Sports' individual rankings. He is also ranked No. 63 nationally, making him one of the most highly regarded prospects in the 2028 class.
The Virginia Beach native has already demonstrated his ability as a dual-threat quarterback. During his sophomore campaign in 2025, Turner threw for 2,186 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 427 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground, according to 247Sports.
Through six games with recorded statistics in 2026, MaxPreps credits Turner with 1,149 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions, completing 105 of 161 attempts. However, MaxPreps statistics are not always entirely reliable or complete, and those numbers should be treated as unofficial.
For James Franklin and his staff, landing Turner would represent another significant recruiting victory within Virginia, particularly in the talent-rich 757 region.
While Turner has yet to announce a commitment, Virginia Tech appears well-positioned to compete for one of the nation's most promising young quarterbacks.
