“I can’t wait. My older brother played football at Virginia Tech. I never liked my older brother.”
That was Virginia Cavaliers quarterback Tony Muskett’s response to being asked about what it meant to be playing football back in his home state. Smiling, the Monmouth transfer made sure to clarify that he was “just kidding,” before emphasizing that “I’ve been a UVA fan for some time now,” and detailing his excitement to be able to play in front of friends and family.
With Jay Woolfolk’s decision to focus on his baseball career, Muskett is now the out-and-out favorite to be UVA’s starter when the program’s 2023 season kicks off on September 2nd against the Tennessee Volunteers.
