#UVa opens training camp on Wednesday, and coach Tony Elliott is excited about two things more than anything else this preseason. “The flat-out competition. You’ve got to bring it,” he said, and also the togetherness of his team. Camp preview: dailyprogress.com/sports/college…

Virginia Tech is reviewing an allegation by N.C. Central coach Trei Oliver that a member of the #Hokies coaching staff was on the sidelines for a 2024 game to improperly lure RB J’Mari Taylor into the transfer portal. Taylor eventually transferred to #UVa. tinyurl.com/yer6r8cf

Tennessee transfer Christian Charles brings versatility to #UVa, DBs coach Curome Cox said on Friday. How could Charles fit in? Spur? Safety? Corner? “He can do it all.” More notes on the Cavaliers from Friday and leftovers from ACC Kickoff here: dailyprogress.com/sports/college…
"Y'all got two good players out of Richmond, Virginia, and we're ready to compete and change the program around." #UVa's recent recruiting success in Richmond continues as Varina defensive lineman JaySean Richardson picks the Hoos over Virginia Tech. tinyurl.com/3t7jrzxm

NC Central’s Trei Oliver says Virginia Tech coach was on his sideline during Howard game recruiting a running back. Says RB went to Virginia for $400K. Now a starter. And hopes Virginia kicks VT’s butt.

Fresh off of winning a national championship with Ohio State, defensive end Mitchell Melton is already making an impact at #UVa and providing leadership for the Hoos. “He’s an incredible teammate.” dailyprogress.com/sports/college…

Fresh off of winning a national title with Ohio State, Mitchell Melton arrived at #UVa with instant credibility. One of his former teammates with the Buckeyes expects him to shine with the Hoos. “He’s going to be a problem for the ACC, that’s for sure.” tinyurl.com/p85fnhjp

“We’ve been a hindrance to the team.” Veteran #UVa OG Noah Josey was blunt on Tuesday in his assessment of the Hoos’ O-Line over the last few years. He wants to help fix it, though. The Cavaliers feel they should be better in 2025 on the OL and the DL: dailyprogress.com/sports/college…
I asked Louisville coach Jeff Brohm about what #UVa is getting in ex-UL S Devin Neal: “He’s a really good kid. He works hard. He’s a hard worker. He doesn’t say a whole lot, but he puts in the time. ... So I think he’s hungry, wants to prove himself. He’s an overachiever.”
#UVa coach Tony Elliott said the Hoos have 10 to 12 offensive linemen, six defensive tackles and six defensive ends they feel good about heading into training camp. Full story here...
The #UVa football program addressed its lack of depth on the offensive and defensive lines by hitting the transfer portal hard this offseason. The Cavaliers expect their increased line depth to pay big dividends this fall. “I know we’re better up front.” tinyurl.com/mr9kankh
#UVa officially announces Tyler Jones as GM for football and women's hoops. He's essentially served in the football GM role since the winter portal window. Justin Speros has been elevated to assistant GM for football and ex-NFL GM Scott Pioli will continue in a consulting role.
