Forty-one Virginia football players earn their jersey numbers for 2018

One of the unique traditions instilled by Bronco Mendenhall when he arrived in Charlottesville was allowing the Virginia Cavaliers’ captains to select which players had earned the right to select a jersey number. The tradition continued for a third season over the weekend, as 41 players have chosen their numbers for 2018.
