After an early signing period that saw the Virginia Cavaliers land 18 commitments, head coach Bronco Mendenhall took several occasions to highlight two in particular: Brennan Armstrong and Bryce Perkins.
While Virginia considered bringing in a graduate transfer at the position, Mendenhall said, “it ultimately didn’t make sense because of the talent we were getting in [Perkins and Armstrong], and especially at mid-year. With one being a true freshman and Perkins being a juco transfer, the talent there is really starting to stack the way we want.”
Mendenhall also said that UVA has “found a good third option” in rising sophomore Devante Cross, who split time between cornerback and wide receiver this season.
