Listen "Mickens Flips to Virginia Tech, Franklin's Impact Grows"
Episode Synopsis
Former Penn State coach James Franklin secures his first recruit for Virginia Tech, four-star running back Messiah Mickens, who previously committed to Penn State. This marks a significant moment as Mickens is the first player to follow Franklin to Blacksburg. Mickens, a highly-rated prospect, had been committed to Penn State since August 2023 but decommitted after receiving offers from other prominent programs. Franklins departure from Penn State has led to fifteen players decommitting from the Nittany Lions 2026 class, now standing at ten committed players. Penn State is actively working to maintain contact with its committed players, while Franklin has an advantage in attracting former Penn State commits at Virginia Tech.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
