In a major coup for the program, the Tigers have landed yet another top-tier commitment, this time in the form of experienced four-star standout Valdin Sone, sources confirmed Tuesday. The news marks the second groundbreaking addition in a week for the Tigers, who are rapidly reshaping their roster into one of the most formidable in the country.
Sone, a versatile and battle-tested athlete ranked among the nation’s top four-star prospects, brings with him not only elite talent but also a reputation as a fierce competitor and locker room leader. With several Power Five programs in pursuit, the Tigers’ ability to secure his commitment is being hailed as a major recruiting victory.
Standing out for his athleticism, football IQ, and ability to contribute on both sides of the ball, Sone is expected to make an immediate impact. He played last season at Blue Ridge School, where he earned praise for his explosive playmaking ability and consistency under pressure.
“I chose the Tigers because I want to be part of something special,” Sone said in a brief statement. “The culture, the coaching staff, and the direction this program is going — it all just felt right.”
This latest addition adds even more momentum to what is quickly becoming a historic recruiting cycle for the Tigers. With Sone now in the fold, expectations for the upcoming season will only grow louder.
Recruiting analysts are already calling the move a “program-changer.”
“Valdin Sone is the kind of player who not only changes games — he changes standards,” said Greg Biggins a national recruiting expert. “He brings experience, leadership, and elite skill. The Tigers just became a whole lot scarier.”
More details on Sone’s commitment and potential impact are expected to emerge in the coming days as the Tigers prepare for summer workouts and fall camp.
