Special teams: An area of strength for Virginia football in 2023

Related Topics: Daniel Sparks

Special teams is a relative strength for the Virginia Cavaliers, as they should have one of the best kicker and punter rooms in the ACC. Daniel Sparks has a big leg and is coming off an All-ACC campaign, while the tag team of Will Bettridge and Matt Ganyard should provide solid kicker production. The returners also offer a good mix of experience from guys like Ethan Davies and big-play potential from Demick Starling and Suderian Harrison.

Punter

Daniel Sparks returns as UVA’s punter after an effective 2022 season where he graded out as PFF’s 10th-best collegiate punter and earned All-ACC honors.
