In another departure from Tony Elliott’s coaching staff, the Virginia Cavaliers’ Associate Head Coach and Wide Receivers Coach Marques Hagans is reportedly leaving the program for the WR position with the Penn State Nittany Lions. A former quarterback for the Wahoos, Hagans spent 11 years on staff for UVA and was made Associate Head Coach in addition to his positional duties when Elliott took over last year.
In his time in Charlottesville, Hagans had tremendous success coaching wide receivers as he was both an effective recruiter and a fantastic coach. He consistently helped underrated players reach potentials that few if any could’ve envisioned beforehand.
