Virginia Tech football: Penn State flips 2025 WR commit Matthew Outten

It’s been a tough 48 hours for the Virginia Tech football team and head coach Brent Pry. On Saturday, the Hokies lost a heartbreaker in overtime to the Vanderbilt Commodores. The result was disappointing, considering the hype and excitement that has followed the Hokies throughout the offseason.

On Monday, Pry and the Hokies received more bad news. Four-star wide receiver Matthew Outten, who initially committed to Virginia Tech earlier this summer, flipped his commitment to Penn State. The Norcom High School (Portsmouth, Va.) product was one of the three four-star wide receivers committed to Tech in the 2025 recruiting class.
