Virginia picked up some much-needed and experienced depth at the tight-end position Thursday night when Tony Poljan, formerly starting tight end for Central Michigan, announced he was transferring to Bronco Mendenhall’s program.

Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall said Monday that while he thinks it’s possible to have a season, it’s incredibly challenging and he believes a definite decision needs to be made by the end of the month.

Virginia linebackers Charles Snowden and Noah Taylor have been named to the preseason Bednarik Award Watch List, the Maxwell Football Club announced Monday.

One of the things I’m curious to see is the development of the Cavaliers’ running attack. I asked Bronco Mendenhall a couple of times last fall about what needed to occur for his offense to become complete, so they can win games against the best teams his program will face. He didn’t blink with his answer. It’s all about the running game.

Virginia didn’t go far in gaining its 17th football commitment for the Class of 2021. The Cavaliers flipped Charlottesville’s Jonas Sanker, who had previously committed to Boston College last month.

Now that the ACC has announced it won’t make a decision on whether to play nonconference football games until late July, the league has some other issues to figure out.

The Virginia athletics department announced Friday initial COVID-19 testing results for the football student-athletes who returned to Grounds starting on July 5. A total of 110 student-athletes were tested and two came back with positive tests for COVID-19.

Now that the Big Ten Conference has announced it will play conference games only this fall, can the ACC be far behind, and what does that mean for Virginia?

As reported on this site three weeks ago, Virginia football is permitted to return to campus on Sunday, July 5, for voluntary workouts. The return meets state, federal and NCAA Resocialization plans for sports.

While Javin Burke likely had his mind set on committing to Virginia’s football program, a conversation with present Cavalier cornerback Jaylon Baker on Tuesday night certainly didn’t hurt UVA’s chances.

At long last, Bronco Mendenhall’s football program has a sequential order at the quarterback position.

Nick Howell, who has been an assistant coach under Mendenhall since 2007 at BYU, and Kelly Poppinga, who has been under Bronco’s wing since 2009 at BYU, are the Cavaliers’ defensive co-coordinators. So how does that work?

According to sources, Virginia’s football players will return to school for voluntary workouts on July 5.

Offensive lineman Ty Furnish, from Blessed Trinity Catholic in Roswell, Ga., became UVA’s 14th commitment overall for the class, and the fourth prospect from the Peach State to commit to the Cavaliers.

On the latest “Jerry Ratcliffe Show,” new Virginia football assistant coach and former Wahoo and NFL star linebacker Clint Sintim joins Hootie to talk about his playing days and joining Bronco Mendenhall’s staff.

By Jerry Ratcliffe Bronco Mendenhall told the media last week about his unique way of winding down after his daily work with Virginia football. Mendenhall, who grew up on a ranch in Utah, has horses on his property in Albemarle County. After he takes care of his football work each day, he spends a couple of hours calf roping. In fact, he estimated that he’s spent more time calf roping during the pandemic shutdown than he did all of his life collectively. Media couldn’t resist asking a couple of Bronco’s assistants this week if they had ever calf roped, and […]

Should the 2020 college football season go on without a hitch, Virginia will face at least two of the top programs in the country during the regular season, leading off with Georgia in the opener and Clemson later on during the campaign.

There was no disguising Kelly Poppinga’s enthusiasm about talking to Virginia nose tackle Jowon Briggs during a recent videoconference.
