  11/07/20 - Richard Burney, rSr/2022, Virginia, 6-4, 280 (DS#999 DE) + More +

  Richard Burney is a staple of the Virginia football program. The defensive lineman played games for the Wahoos in 2015, before Bronco Mendenhall even coached the Cavaliers. He saw UVa go 2-10 in 2016, missed much of 2018 due to blood clots in his lungs and played in the Orange Bowl a season ago after returning from his medical scare. Unfortunately for the sixth-year senior, his 2020 season is over. Mendenhall announced the news Tuesday. "Richard is done for the season with a health injury," Mendenhall said. "Our team has been saddened by that. He was elected to be the player that chose his jersey first, team captain, got an extra year of eligibility granted, has overcome so, so much adversity."

As Mendenhall mentioned, Burney is beloved by teammates. Fighting through his health issues to play in 2019 showcased his love of football. His performance - he's a key contributor on the defensive line - only makes him more respected by his peers. Teammates wanted him to select his jersey number first this fall, an honor bestowed only on UVa's most well-respected players. Through five games this fall he made his presence felt. Teammates praised Burney's increased leadership, and he recorded a sack against both Duke and Clemson in the team's opening two games. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  11/06/20 - Charles Snowden, Sr/2021, Virginia, 6-6, 243 (DS#16 OLB) + More +

  Charles Snowden put together one of the most dominant individual performances of any ACC player this weekend. The linebacker finished with 10 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble in the UVa football team's 44-41 upset victory over North Carolina on Saturday. The stellar showing earned Snowden ACC Linebacker of the Week honors. "I had gotten off to a slow start this year and now to finally be producing and making plays, it feels great," Snowden said after the game. "Sacks always are a great thing." On the season, Snowden's sack tally sits at five. All five of the sacks have come in the past two games. After recording 22 tackles and one tackle for loss in UVa's first four games this season, Snowden posted 18 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and five sacks in the team's previous two contests. He's stepped up, playing some of the best football of his career in the past two games. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  11/04/20 - Keytaon Thompson, rSr/2023, Virginia, 6-4, 218 (DS#47 WR) + More +

  Virginia needed an offensive explosion Saturday to keep up with Sam Howell and North Carolina's high-powered attack. A depleted secondary left UVa in a tough position, but the Cavaliers won a shootout against Howell and the Tar Heels. Bronco Mendenhall's group fought extremely hard, gutting out a 44-41 victory to vanquish its four-game losing streak. It was a gritty performance from a team desperate for a victory. "It's just more fun," Mendenhall said of winning. "Let's just face it, it's just more fun. I like to see our players when they work so hard have fun, and I love to see them smile, and I love to see them carry themselves in a way that they're proud of the outcome. There have been so many really cool plays that I can celebrate with them in team meetings, but it's not the same when the world doesn't see them."

Transfers made plays all over the field for Virginia in its upset over the Tar Heels. Offensively, Keytaon Thompson carried the ball 10 times for 43 yards and a touchdown. He also converted the critical fourth-and-short on a fake punt late in the contest to clinch UVa's win. "He's becoming one of the cultural examples that we can present when a player comes into our program," Mendenhall said. Thompson did a little bit of everything Saturday. He lined up at wide receiver, running back and quarterback and even on special teams. He motioned under center at times, creating a surprise quarterback sneak setup. UVa used him creatively, and Thompson is clearly embracing the role. "When you list the position, it'd be smart just to put football underneath," Mendenhall said. "He might be setting a record for the most different positions played in a game each and every week. We're so thankful he's here because we need him." - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  NOV 2 ACC LINEBACKER OF THE WEEK: Charles Snowden, Virginia, Sr., OLB, Silver Spring, Md.,...Registered a career-high four sacks and a forced fumble that led to a score in UVA's 44-41 victory over North Carolina at Scott Stadium...His sack total was the most by a UVA player since Jamie Sharper had four against the Tar Heels in 1996...Also stands as the most sacks by an ACC player in a game this season...Snowden had a total of 10 tackles and came up with a crucial play in the third quarter when he strip-sacked UNC QB Sam Howell...The Cavaliers recovered and scored five plays later to increase their lead to 41-20...Snowden is just the second ACC player to record four sacks in a game over the past two ACC seasons and has 7.5 sacks over the last two games. - ACC Football

  UVa wants more production from its front seven. The three defensive linemen and four linebackers failed to record a sack against N.C. State, and Mendenhall and company expect better from the group moving forward. "That's one of our biggest things is creating havoc and having zero sacks, obviously the pass rush has to get better," linebacker Zane Zandier said. Charles Snowden and Noah Taylor are two of the most talented players on UVa's defense, and the Wahoos hope the outside linebackers show improvement in future games. They've been steady in Mendenhall's estimation, but not nearly as dynamic or impactful as they can be when playing at their best. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  10/15/20 - DAngelo Amos, rSr/2021, Virginia, 6-0, 191 (DS#15 FS) + More +

  Amos struggled at times to bring down N.C. State players, allowing them to pull him for extra yards. Overall, though, he led the Wahoos with 10 tackles after stepping into a starting role with Joey Blount injured and out. The FCS transfer has shown he belongs at the Power 5 level in three games with the Wahoos. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  10/09/20 - Ronnie Walker Jr., rSr/2024, Virginia, 5-10, 218 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Indiana transfer running back Ronnie Walker Jr. has yet to hear back from the NCAA on the second part of his appeal process to earn a waiver for immediate eligibility. Mendenhall believes the Virginia native, who said he joined UVa in part to be closer to his mother, deserves the waiver. Virginia's head coach remained calm, but shared his frustrations Monday with the lack of guidance from the NCAA on the situation. "It seems like our urgency is more than maybe that of who we're working with," Mendenhall said. Even without the running back, UVa's offense has performed well through two games. The Cavaliers are averaging 167.5 yards per game on the ground, up about 45 yards from last year's season average. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  10/03/20 - Tony Poljan, rSr/2021, Virginia, 6-7, 251 (DS#7 TE) + More +

  Tight end Tony Poljan, who also stands at 6-7, caught four passes for 44 yards, including a 14-yard reception on a third down in the fourth quarter. The reception extended the drive, which resulted in a touchdown to Davis Jr. on the next play. Poljan, who played quarterback at the beginning of his collegiate career, says there's major room for improvement in his route running. He's studied current Las Vegas Raiders tight end and former Dallas Cowboys great Jason Witten since making the positional switch, and he's hoping to run routes more efficiently as Virginia's season progresses. Through one week, however, the graduate transfer tight end from Central Michigan has seamlessly integrated into the offense. "I would say since we have had a longer time to practice than normal due to the virus that chemistry is there more," Poljan said. "I would say it's just one of those things that take a lot of practice and a lot of repetition to be able to trust it with those third-down catches." - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  Virginia did a great job against Brice, who Dabo Swinney said would play in the NFL one day when Brice was at Clemson. The Blue Devils held Brice to 16 of 36 passing (44.4 percent) and picked him off four times. Clemson has more offensive talent than Duke, and Trevor Lawrence is considered by most to be the best QB in the country. Still, you can bet the performance of Virginia's secondary against Brice and Duke has the Tigers' attention. - The State

  09/30/20 - Lavel Davis Jr., Jr/2024, Virginia, 6-6, 219 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  After an impressive showing against Duke, freshman wide receiver Lavel Davis Jr. and senior linebacker Zane Zandier received honors from the ACC on Monday. Davis Jr. earned both ACC Receiver of the Week and ACC Rookie of the Week accolades. The 6-foot-7 freshman hauled in four receptions for 104 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He led the Cavaliers in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns against Duke. Asked during a media session Monday what makes Davis Jr. tough to cover, senior cornerback Nick Grant offered a perfect description of why the freshman presents a major matchup problem. "Other than he's 6'7"?" Grant asked with a smile. Davis Jr. used his size well against Duke, and he's used it well in practice. Coaches and defensive backs heap praise onto the newcomer. "He makes circus catches all the time," Grant said. "I mean if he's in the back of the end zone, the ball is his. You might as well just count it to him. He jumps out the gym, and he's already 6-7, so it's very hard." - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  09/29/20 - DAngelo Amos, rSr/2021, Virginia, 6-0, 191 (DS#15 FS) + More +

  A few newcomers made significant contributions in their first games as Virginia Cavaliers. James Madison transfer D'Angelo Amos came up with a diving first-half interception. The safety finished the game with seven tackles in addition to the interception. "I actually thought he undercut too soon and the ball was gonna go over him for a touchdown," Mendenhall said of Amos' interception. "Just proved I'm wrong maybe more often than not, but it was an amazing play." Fellow JMU transfer Adeeb Atariwa worked into the defensive line rotation and added two tackles. Central Michigan transfer tight end Tony Poljan was a reliable target over the middle, securing four receptions for 44 yards. Towson transfer Shane Simpson caught a pair of balls for 11 yards while also carrying the rock eight times for 36 yards. - Charlottesville Daily Progress
