Overview
- Peter Bourque, the top uncommitted quarterback in the 2027 class, committed to Virginia Tech on Thursday over finalists Georgia and Penn State.
- Reporting credits the Hokies’ relationships with James Franklin and assistant Danny O’Brien plus a noted NIL effort as key reasons for Bourque’s choice.
- Bourque had been committed to Michigan but reopened his recruitment after the school fired Sherrone Moore, then made an April 18 visit to Blacksburg before deciding.
- The 6-foot-5 Tabor Academy standout ranks No. 82 overall and No. 7 at quarterback in the 247Sports Composite, and he is the No. 1 prospect in Massachusetts.
- His decision is framed as Franklin’s biggest 2027 win to date, with Virginia Tech’s class ranked No. 17 by 247Sports and No. 19 by Rivals, reflecting service-by-service differences.
