Virginia football continued to make progress in the state on Sunday when the Cavaliers received a special Mother’s Day commitment from Fredericksburg defensive back Aidan Ryan of James Monroe High School.

Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall is hoping that Tristan Leigh’s deep roots in the Commonwealth will tug at the star offensive tackle’s heart when it comes time to choose a school.

The way Hugh Laughlin viewed things, there was no reason to continue his recruiting after he completed a Zoom interview with Virginia head football coach Bronco Mendenhall on Thursday.

Another day, another Virginia football commitment. After hauling in five new commits earlier in the week, the Cavaliers added their 11th member of the 2021 recruiting class on Saturday in West Weeks, an inside linebacker from Watkinsville, Ga.

Virginia’s quarterbacking picture became instantaneously brighter on Friday afternoon when former Mississippi State starter Keytaon (pronounced KEY-tahn) Thompson announced he is transferring into Bronco Mendenhall’s program.

Virginia senior wide receiver Dejon Brissett was selected by the Toronto Argonauts during Thursday’s first round of the Canadian Football Draft.

On Thursday, the Cavaliers didn’t have to go that far to land their 10th commitment for the Class of 2021. Mike Green, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound, 3-star prospect from Williamsburg’s Lafayette High School announced his commitment to UVA.

Before the NFL Draft began last Thursday, former Virginia quarterback Bryce Perkins thought he might end up in Los Angeles with the Rams. He had talked to the Rams more than any other team and even thought they were going to draft him.

Within the last 10 days, Virginia football recruiting has been landing an impressive group of prospects from coast to coast. The action continued Tuesday when Alabama 3-star cornerback Micah Gaffney added his name to the Wahoos’ list.

Bronco Mendenhall has landed his future “Thorterback,” and beat out some of the Big 12’s top offensive powerhouses in gaining a commitment from Jacob Rodriguez of Wichita Falls, Texas.

Virginia cornerback Bryce Hall said Saturday that his goal isn’t to prove teams wrong that passed on him in the NFL Draft, but “if it happens, it happens.”

Joe Reed was selected in the fifth round with the No. 151 overall pick. The Chargers are hoping he will strengthen their receiving corps with his versatility and play-making ability, in addition to his potential as a kickoff return specialist.

Wide receiver Joe Reed, the top-rated kickoff returner in the draft, was taken with the 151st pick overall by the Los Angeles Chargers. Meanwhile, cornerback Bryce Hall was taken with the 158th overall pick by the New York Jets.

William Simpkins Jr., a 6-foot-2, 175-pound cornerback from Gaithersburg, Md., announced on his Twitter account Friday that he has committed to UVA. 

When NFL scouts came to see Joe Reed play at Virginia this past fall, many of them commented to Cavalier coach Bronco Mendenhall that “this guy is a running back.”

Virginia’s football program just landed its future pass rusher, Josh McCarron, a four-star sack machine from Everett, Washington.

Maybe Virginia wide receiver Hasise Dubois’s not the fastest guy in the country, and he didn’t get to show anyone his 40 time due to all the Pro Days cancelled around the country. Speed is nice, but it’s not everything.

No sooner had Virginia’s first Coastal Division championship football season ended than Bronco Mendenhall pointed toward the future. One of his priorities for the 2020 UVA campaign was to take the running game to the next level.

Hopewell native Ronnie Walker Jr., a running back who played his first two collegiate seasons at Indiana University, is transferring to Virginia, head coach Bronco Mendenhall announced on Friday morning.

Jordan Mack, one of the stalwarts of Virginia’s defense for the past four years, spends his days awaiting the NFL Draft pretty much the same way as the rest of us.
