Wahoos get commitment from Springfield receiver Teasley

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia’s coaching staff liked what it saw of wide receiver Josiah Teasley in a recent seven-on-seven tournament held at the Cavaliers’ practice facilities, and the feeling was mutual.

Teasley, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound wideout from The Saint James school in Springfield, announced his commitment to UVA on Monday after making his official visit to Tony Elliott’s program over the weekend. He is Virginia’s seventh commitment to the 2026 recruiting class.

The 3-star receiver, who runs a 4.5 in the 40, performed well in the 7-on-7 event and returned for one of UVA’s one-day camps to confirm his decision. Virginia’s coaches turned out to watch Teasley and were impressed that he would fit into their offensive system.

Ranked by 247Sports as the No. 244 wide receiver prospect in the nation and the No. 35 overall prospect in the state of Virginia, Teasley held two other offers, from Marshall and Stony Brook.

Virginia’s ‘26 recruiting class is presently ranked No. 82 in the nation by 247.
