2026 QB Cole Bergeron Set To Make His Commitment Decision Today: Will It Be Virginia Tech?

It is decision day for 2026 quarterback Cole Bergeron, and entering the day, Virginia Tech seems to have the momentum. After landing their 2027 quarterback prospect last week, the Hokies received a prediction from national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman to land Bergeron. Bergeron is one of the top quarterbacks available for the 2026 recruiting class, and the Hokies have been battling Georgia Tech and Colorado to land him this cycle, but it appears that the Hokies have the momentum in the recruitment, even though things can change quickly in recruiting, and predictions should not be seen as guarantees. Not only is Spiegelman predicting that Virginia Tech will land the talented QB, but he has multiple crystal ball predictions from 247Sports as well. He will make his decision at 11:00 a.m. this morning.

Bergeron plays at St. Thomas More High School in Louisiana and according to the 247Sports Composite, he is the No. 622 player in the country, the No. 35 quarterback in the country, and the No. 21 player in the state of Louisiana.

Here is a scouting report on Bergeron courtesy of 247Sports analyst Gabe Brooks:

"Big-framed pro-style quarterback with a corresponding big arm that shows in downfield vertical passing game juice and short-to-intermediate velocity. Excellent timing and touch passer who knows how to throw to spots to allow only his receivers to make plays on the ball. Smooth, repeatable release fosters consistent spiral and RPMs. Live evaluations at multiple Spring 2025 events passed with flying colors, including an Elite 11 Austin performance that revealed the ability to consistently rip it to multiple levels into a stiff wind. Appears to play with encouraging pocket awareness and subtle evasiveness to extend plays inside and out of the pocket as necessary. Capable of drilling intermediate throws on the move, including across his body to the field. Good combine tester who also plays basketball. Not a high-volume run threat at the next level, but functionally athletic enough to present a scramble threat and more importantly extend plays for big-time off-schedule throws. Occasionally throws a bit flat-footed at times. Production context is not crystal clear due to lack of concrete data at this point, but the tape and live exposures have been strong. Projects to the P4 level with significant long-term potential that suggests multi-year impact starter upside."
