February is not as action packed of a month in recruiting as others, but official visits are being set up for the summer, which are the biggest months when it comes to college football recruiting. Virginia Tech has been setting up visits with their top targets and that continued today with two more prospects setting the date for their visits.

Jayden Covil, a 2026 DB Prospect who plays at Oscar Smith High School (Chesapeake, VA) announced today that he is going to be visiting the Hokies from June 20th-22nd. Covil has offers from Charlotte, Duke, Virginia, and Old Dominion, among others.
