The Virginia Cavaliers got a big shot in the arm on Thursday night as defensive lineman Dylan Thompson said on Twitter that he will soon be Charlottesville-bound.
As recently as last Friday, UVA coach Bronco Mendenhall said that Thompson, a graduate transfer from the Ohio State Buckeyes, was “unlikely” to join the team and add much-needed depth in the trenches. Thompson told the Daily Progress on Tuesday that it was simply a logistical hold-up and that he only needed to pass an online-proctored exam to complete the process.
