Anthony Colandrea has been named Virginia's starting quarterback, but who will be the other starters on UVA's week 1 depth chart?
season. With the Cavaliers set to open their season against Richmond on August 31st, we're going to take one more crack at projecting what UVA's two-deep depth chart will look like when it is revealed by Tony Elliott on Tuesday.
Of course, this is just an educated guess at what UVA's week 1 depth chart could be and does not at all reflect the opinions of the coaching staff, with the obvious exception offor Virginia's season opener against Richmond next Saturday. This marks the first time that Colandrea will start over a healthy Tony Muskett and offers a resolution on the biggest point of suspense for UVA's week 1 depth chart release this week.
Xavier Brown appears to be back in practice after missing a big chunk of fall camp with a shoulder injury, so we've got him back on the depth chart as Kobe Pace's backup at running back. Expect Pace, Brown, and Jack Griese to get carries in the season opener. We still have Kent State transfer Trell Harris as the third starting receiver with JR Wilson out with an injury. Wilson should at the very least contend for a starting spot when he returns, but since this is a week 1 depth chart projection, he's still absent from it.We've moved Malcolm Greene from cornerback to the SPUR/nickel spot because he's been moving around the UVA secondary and it seems his most likely final landing spot is behind/alongside Corey Thomas Jr. at SPUR.
We've got Kempton Shine and Dre Walker as our projected starters at cornerback, with Jam Jackson and Kendren Smith right behind them. Those four guys seem to be very close as the cornerback position battle was probably the tightest and most competitive on the roster during fall camp.Matt Newton launched the Cavaliers Now site on Sports Illustrated in August 2021, where he covers all things UVA sports.
