Sources have told Football Scoop that Virginia’s Tony Elliott has landed his new quarterbacks coach in Taylor Lamb, offensive coordinator and QB coach for Gardner Webb University.

Lamb has been GW’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for one season after serving the previous two years as a grad assistant working with South Carolina’s offense.

Lamb is a former record-setting dual threat quarterback at Appalachian State, accumulating nearly 12,000 yards of total offense during his career in Boone. He passed for 9,786 yards and rushed for 2,008 more and accounted for 113 career touchdowns.

He ranked first in Sun Belt Conference history at the end of his career with 90 TD passes in 51 yards, while leading the Mountaineers from FCS to FBS status.
