Virginia Tech Receives Commitment from Cornerback Jordan Crim
Blacksburg, Virginia – On Tuesday evening, Virginia Tech celebrated the arrival of its 18th commitment for the 2025 recruiting class. Three-star cornerback Jordan Crim from Camden, South Carolina, announced his decision to join the Hokies via social media, one day before the early signing period began.
Who is Jordan Crim?
Jordan Crim stands at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 175 pounds. He is noted for his impressive skills as a defensive back and has a three-star rating of 86 on 247Sports. Crim’s recruitment process has been fairly low-key, with limited public engagement, but he made it clear that Virginia Tech stood out among his options.
What Crim Said About Virginia Tech
In an interview with VTSCooop’s Evan Watkins, Crim expressed his enthusiasm about joining Virginia Tech. He stated, “Virginia Tech is doing it the right way and is going to be a winning program that way.” He believes that he will thrive within the school’s environment, both academically and athletically. Crim also highlighted the “authenticity” of Virginia Tech and the detailed plan laid out for his development over the next several years, emphasizing growth on the field, in academics, and in physical conditioning.
Recruitment Process
While numerous schools showed interest in Jordan Crim, including Duke, NC State, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Houston, Memphis, and UCF, he kept a relatively private recruitment throughout the fall. It was perceived that Duke could be the primary competition for Virginia Tech in recent months, especially as they were expected to host him for a visit in September. However, Crim did not attend that visit and instead chose to visit Virginia Tech during the Clemson game in November.
Additional Context on Commitments
Jordan Crim not only increases the Hokies’ depth in the defensive backfield but also becomes the fourth overall defensive back commitment for Virginia Tech in the current recruiting cycle. This commitment follows that of fellow South Carolinian and three-star athlete AJ Brand, who is projected to play quarterback. Despite interest from the Gamecocks to lure Brand away, indications suggest that he will remain committed to Virginia Tech.
Current Standing of Virginia Tech’s Class
As of now, Virginia Tech holds the position of No. 44 in the nation for their recruiting class as they enter the early signing period, showcasing a notable effort to build a strong team for the future.
Conclusion
Jordan Crim’s commitment adds to the excitement surrounding Virginia Tech football as the school prepares for the upcoming years. His skills and positive outlook are expected to contribute significantly to the Hokies’ program as they aim for continued success both on the field and in the classrooms.
