Five Cavaliers returning from injury who could have big bounce-back seasons for UVA football in 2024.
were no exception, having many starters and key contributors miss substantial time with injuries. As we enthusiastically approach the start of another season, some of the excitement comes from the long-awaited return of those players to the field.Butler was the team's best defender until he got hurt, suffering a season-ending shoulder injury early in Virginia's fourth game of the season against NC State.
It's something of a miracle that Butler is still playing college football, as he began his career at Miami in 2018. He played there for four seasons, but one didn't count due to COVID-19. The NCAA then granted an additional year of eligibility to UVA's seniors in 2022 following the tragic shooting, so Butler returned for another season and then used a medical redshirt after only playing in four games in 2023.
Gibson was an early enrollee in 2023 along with fellow freshman Anthony Colandrea and that early start paid off for both players. Gibson got extremely valuable experience as a true freshman, playing in eight games and recording five receptions for 54 yards, averaging 10.8 yards per catch. He missed the last month of the season with an ankle injury, or else he might've continued to improve.
