Virginia has more than a few NFL prospects on its 2022 roster, according to talent-evaluators at the East-West Shrine Bowl. On Wednesday, the annual postseason All-Star event released the East-West Shrine Bowl 1,000 to provide insight into the game's scouting process. Typically, 1,000 all-star game eligible players are drafted, signed after the draft or invited to a rookie camp, so the list features 1,000 of college football's best players who are eligible for this season's Shrine Bowl as well as the 2023 NFL Draft.

Seven Cavaliers-quarterback Brennan Armstrong, defensive end Kam Butler, linebacker Nick Jackson, cornerback Anthony Johnson, wide receiver Billy Kemp IV, safety Coen King and wide receiver Keytaon Thompson-were listed. Armstrong is the headliner of the group following the signal-caller's decision to return to school for a fifth season with the Hoos after setting the school's single-season passing record and mark for passing touchdowns last year. He was also invited to and in attendance at the Manning Passing Academy last month. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

06/17/22 - Chandler Zavala, rSr/2023, North Carolina State, 6-4, 316 (DS#10 OG) + More +

For about five months, N.C. State offensive guard Chandler Zavala was at the mercy of the NCAA. Having suffered season-ending injuries in two seasons, and losing another to the COVID-19 pandemic, Zavala was seeking a sixth year of eligibility. Initially, the NCAA denied his request, effectively ending his collegiate career. In early May, the NCAA reversed course. Now, he enters the 2022 season looking to help fill a void on the offensive line and grateful for the support he received from N.C. State during his off-field battle with the NCAA.

After transferring to N.C. State from Division II Fairmont State, Zavala (6-5, 325) started the first five games of the 2021 season for the Wolfpack. In those five games, the Pack averaged 172 rushing yards - twice rushing for more than 200 yards, including 293 yards rushing in the team's opener against South Florida. Zavala's season was cut short due to injury - for the second time in his collegiate career - when he suffered a back injury on Oct. 2 during N.C. State's game against Louisiana Tech. He had surgery in November, and thought he would be granted an additional year of eligibility for the time he missed. - Raleigh News Observer

06/08/22 - Timothy McKay, rSr/2025, North Carolina State, 6-4, 311 (DS#27 OG) + More +

Tim McKay wants to change Raleigh as badly as he wants to pancake defensive linemen. The N.C. State offensive tackle, who graduated from Wakefield High, already has his sights set on a post-football career he hopes will keep him in his hometown long after he's done playing for the Wolfpack. "I want to invest in a local startup right here in the Triangle," said McKay, who was 16 years old when he enrolled at N.C. State in January of 2019, "and really help them grow and get off the ground and then expand to other states." McKay earned his business degree from N.C. State in May.

He wants to continue playing football, both at N.C. State and then professionally, but whenever his he hangs up the helmet and shoulder pads, he wants to help Raleigh grow. Inspired by a recent trip to Charlotte, McKay said he'd like to explore adding infrastructure - specifically light rail - to the state capital. McKay, a redshirt sophomore, has dedicated a lot of time to studying the setup of major cities across the United States. "I know it can't be like San Francisco or Miami," McKay said. "But I can definitely take key points from Miami, what they're doing with bitcoin and Crypto currency, and San Francisco, they're heavy in their investing, in New York with their real estate, and try to bring it here to Raleigh." - Raleigh News Observer

05/18/22 - Noah Potter, rSr/2025, North Carolina State, 6-6, 274 (DS#999 DE) + More +

Former Ohio State Buckeyes defensive lineman Noah Potter committed Monday via Twitter to play for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Potter announced in late April that he was entering the transfer portal after three seasons at OSU. Potter, a former four-star prospect at Mentor High School ranked the No. 6 player in Ohio by 247Sports, did not play during the 2021 season because of a foot injury in addition to emergency eye surgery to repair a torn retina. He played four games during the 2020 season, making two tackles. Despite the health scare, Potter had bounced back by March and gone through spring practice. His listed size at 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds gave him a chance to seize a large role, allowing him to line up at either defensive end or tackle. - Cincinnati Enquirer

The drama surrounding the return of N.C. State lineman Chandler Zavala to the school for a sixth year of football eligibility has reached a conclusion. Zavala posted to social media Thursday night that he is returning to the Wolfpack, meaning the NCAA reversed course on a waiver exemption it had originally denied. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to comeback and represent the wolfpack for another year. Let's run it back!! Thank you all for the endless support," Zavala wrote in a tweet.

"So thankful for Chandler getting the opportunity to finish his career this fall!" N.C. State head coach Dave Doeren said in an official statement released later Thursday night. "It's been a long process for him and he is such an incredible young man. I am super appreciative to our compliance office, Boo Corrigan, and Chandler's attorney for supporting and fighting for him. I can't wait to see #64 back on the grass with his brothers and coaches!" Doeren was more to the point in a post on his Twitter account: "So Happy for Chandler and thankful he gets to finish his journey with this team and staff!!!" Zavala, his family and the university had said in April they were considering legal action if their final appeal to the NCAA was denied. - Raleigh News Observer
