The latest

Dabney comes from a Life Christian Academy program that is going to be important to the Hokies' efforts to lock down their state (and the Richmond area, more specifically). They've had a high-profile miss in the 2023 class in the form of DB Antonio Cotman, but continuing to cast a wide net for the school's top players is always going to be a smart move. Dabney played on JV as an eighth grader, and will likely step right into the LCA lineup this Fall. Getting in the door early should help VT host him on a number of occasions over the next few years.
