Virginia Tech has landed a coveted 2027 quarterback prospect in Peter Bourque, edging out traditional powerhouses Georgia and Penn State for his signature.
Bourque, a 6‑foot‑4, 220‑pound athlete from Marion, Massachusetts, impressed at the Elite 11 competition, finishing third overall and earning MVP honors at the Rivals Event, showcasing a blend of accuracy, anticipation and a competitive edge.
Elite 11 Showcase Highlights
At the Elite 11 event, Bourque demonstrated a strong deep‑ball arsenal, delivering precise throws beyond 15 yards and displaying the poise expected of a future collegiate starter.
Analysts Tom Luginbill and Craig Haubert highlighted his competitive demeanor and ability to attack the field vertically, noting that his performance placed him firmly in the conversation for the MVP award.
His rise from a 2023 recruit who originally pledged to Michigan to a top‑75 prospect on the 247Sports board reflects a rapid development curve, now projecting as a classic pocket passer with sneaky athleticism.
The commitment comes at a time when Virginia Tech is leveraging its growing NIL resources to compete for elite talent, a factor that helped seal the deal after the coaching staff changes at Michigan prompted Bourque to reopen his recruitment.
Ranked No. 75 overall and No. 6 among quarterbacks by 247Sports, and similarly positioned by On3 and ESPN, Bourque joins a class that already holds a top‑10 national standing, positioning the Hokies to maintain momentum into the next recruiting cycle.
