Virginia Tech head coach Mike Young landed his first commitment for the 2023 recruiting class Tuesday when three-star guard Brandon Rechsteiner picked the Hokies.
Don’t know the name? Rechsteiner, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound point guard from Etowah High School in Woodstock, Georgia, is the son of pro wrestling legend Scott Rechsteiner, aka Scott Steiner or “Big Poppa Pump.”
Steiner has been a professional wrestler for over 30 years, performing in WCW, WWE and TNA, among other organizations. He is a former world heavyweight champion and tag-team champion in multiple organizations with his older brother, Rick Steiner. The pair were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year.
