The former Michigan commit chose the Hokies over Georgia and Penn State in whatās now the biggest recruiting win of the James Franklin era in Blacksburg.
Bourque is the No. 82 overall prospect and No. 7 QB in the 2027 cycle, according to theĀ Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. Heās also the top-ranked player in Massachusetts.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder re-opened his process nearly three months ago due to the coaching changes at Michigan. The new regime at VT instantly threw their hat in the ring and caught the attention of the blue-chip gunslinger.
Bourque visited campus last month and is now the class jewel for Franklin and the ACC program.
āIām super close to that staff. I have a great relationship with Daniel OāBrien and Coach Franklin,ā Bourque previously told Rivalsā Steve Wiltfong.
It was a tight battle for the passer as Georgia and Penn State were right in the thick of things. Coaches from all three schools came to watch Bourque throw earlier this week.
āThe Hokies have been real aggressive on the NIL front for Bourque,ā Wiltfong wrote earlier on Thursday. āBeyond that he has great relationships with head coach James Franklin, Danny OāBrien and the coaching staff. He likes the direction of the offense and trajectory of the program.ā
