Amauri Polydor brings size, upside, and Power-4-ready length to Virginia Tech’s secondary
Amauri Polydor, a 2026 cornerback from St. Frances Academy, flipped from Penn State to Virginia Tech and arrives as a high-upside defensive back with strong national and Maryland rankings: 247Sports lists him as a high three-star and the No. 89 CB in the class, while composite/other outlets have placed him as high as No. 46 at the position and No. 14 in Maryland in 2026. At 6-foot-1 and about 170 pounds, he fits the classic long-corner mold, and the fact that he drew serious interest from Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, Penn State, South Carolina, Syracuse, and West Virginia says he’s more than just a depth add—he’s a legit athletic bet for a fast Virginia Tech defense.
