04/22/21 - FS Joey Blount, rSr/2022, Virginia

Big plays consistently crushed Virginia's defense, which yielded 29 passing plays that went for 30 yards or more. Only two other FBS squads allowed more. With disappointing defensive results last fall, Blount decided to use his additional year of eligibility for one final - and, with any luck, healthy - season in a Virginia uniform. "I've been super energetic," Blount said. "I'm looking forward to every day when we get to go practice. Being sidelined for so long, just hungry to experience the spring to its fullest." While Blount wished he was available more last season, he appreciated watching his underclassman peers earn game reps.

He saw Antonio Clary, a junior this season, grow into his own and become a more consistent option at safety. Coen King, another junior, led Virginia with 10 tackles in the season-ending loss to Virginia Tech. Both players were given significant playing time in 2020 due to injuries to usual starters. "I feel like there were a lot of identities that were found," Blount said. As for Blount, he's healthy during spring practices for the first time in his Virginia career. "Joey Blount is playing really well this spring," head coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "This is his first offseason, which has been amazing. Even though he's been here quite a while, it's the first time he's been through an offseason and been healthy. He's strong and he's fast and he's physical and he's making lots and lots and lots of plays." - Charlottesville Daily Progress
