In a stunning turn of events, Virginia Tech Hokies football has suffered a major recruiting setback as top-rated offensive lineman Xavier Chaplin has officially decommitted from the program. Chaplin, who had been one of the most highly anticipated recruits for the Hokies, has now confirmed his intention to join the Auburn Tigers instead.
Chaplin’s decision has left Virginia Tech fans in shock, as the towering lineman was seen as a crucial piece in the team’s future plans. In a statement that sent shockwaves through the college football world, Chaplin was direct about his choice: “I don’t want to play for Virginia Tech. My heart is with Auburn.”
The decommitment marks a significant loss for head coach Brent Pry and his staff, who had worked hard to secure Chaplin’s commitment. The Hokies had envisioned the talented lineman as a key figure in their offensive line rebuild, but his decision to flip to Auburn signals a major blow to their recruiting efforts.
Auburn, on the other hand, continues to gain momentum under head coach Hugh Freeze. With Chaplin now set to join the Tigers, the program adds another elite prospect to an already strong recruiting class. His combination of size, strength, and versatility makes him a valuable addition to Auburn’s offensive front.
As Virginia Tech scrambles to recover from this unexpected loss, Auburn fans are celebrating the addition of a game-changing talent.
