Iowa State and Virginia Tech have been actively bolstering their respective football teams with new commitments and signings for the 2024 recruiting class. Iowa State secured its fifth offensive line commitment with an in-state player from Lewis Central HS, joining the likes of the Helton twins, Dontrell Holt, and A.J. Burton. The Cyclones also welcomed a transfer from Louisiana Monroe, Kenard Snyder, who brings with him a record of 60 tackles and 5.5 sacks from the 2023 season and two years of eligibility. On the other hand, Virginia Tech signed a series of players, including linebacker Gabriel Williams from St. Vincent Pallotti HS, who is a four-star prospect and ranked No. 232 nationally. The Hokies also added offensive linemen Aidan Lynch and Tommy Ricard, defensive end Gerard Johnson, defensive tackle Emmett Laws, and cornerback Joshua Clarke.
