Eltayeb Eltayeb, a 6-foot-8 wing, has committed to Virginia Tech for the 2026-27 basketball season. He previously played at Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas, averaging 21.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game last season while shooting over 43% from three-point range. This commitment marks a shift from Virginia Tech's focus on veteran transfers, as Eltayeb is the first freshman addition to the Hokies' recruiting class.
