So Virginia Tech Hokies got themselves a nice surprise from the transfer portal. After doing some scouting, they snagged Izaiah Pasha right out of Delaware. And this isn’t just some random pickup—Pasha was kind of a big deal for Delaware. I’m talking one of the top guys in the Colonial Athletic Association. By the end of his freshman season, everyone was like, “Whoa, where’d this dude come from?” Harrisburg, PA, if you’re wondering.
Now, think about it. One year at Delaware and he’s in the portal—everyone’s got their eyes on him. So, he visits Virginia Tech, and Mike Young, the coach, has clearly been binging on late-night scouting tapes to make sure Pasha knows he’s at the top of their wishlist. Fast-forward to a Sunday night commitment, and it’s all set by Monday morning—officially adding Pasha to the Hokies roster.
Pasha’s got some solid freshman stats, too. During the CAA regular season run, the dude averaged nearly 12 points, 4 rebounds, and a cool 4 assists per game. Then when March Madness vibes started rolling into the CAA tournament, his numbers jumped even more. We’re talking 13.4 points, 6.4 boards, and nearly 6 assists. Sure, the Blue Hens’ season didn’t end with trophies, but it wasn’t because Pasha wasn’t putting up numbers.

The buzz around him is real. At 6-foot-3, he’s not just a guard—he’s a playmaker. He can handle, create his own shot, and make things happen. Now, he didn’t exactly light it up from the three-point line but was a reliable free throw shooter at 77%. With Ben Hammond already in that backcourt, adding Pasha is like having another puzzle piece click into place.
And this isn’t Young’s only win from the portal. Amani Hansberry from West Virginia also signed up earlier. So, with returning players, new commitments, and fresh talent like Sin’Cere Jones and Christian Gurdak coming in, it looks like Virginia Tech’s cooking up something tasty for 2025-26. And let’s be real: they’re not done shopping in the portal yet.
If you’re following Virginia Tech’s moves, this is a time you probably want to stick around, because the Hokies are quietly piecing together a squad that might just make their presence felt in the bigger conferences. So, buckle up—it’s going to be a fun ride watching how this team shapes up!
