Spring football is in the books and Virginia has already gone to work in the spring transfer window, bringing in a few more additions to shore up some critical areas of need on the roster. Based on these new additions and a few other personnel developments from spring practices, let's revisit our projected Virginia football depth chart for the 2025 season.

Virginia Football Projected 2025 Depth Chart: Offense
Virginia Offense Notes
-
Quarterbacks: There are no changes at the quarterback position, as Chandler Morris and Daniel Kaelin are still near locks to be the starter and backup for UVA in 2025. Projected third-stringer Gavin Frakes entered the transfer portal, but the Cavaliers still have some depth with Grady Brosterhous and incoming freshmen Bjorn Jurgensen and Cole Geer.
-
Running Backs: We still have Xavier Brown and J'Mari Taylor as RB1 and RB2, respectively, but the Cavaliers have added another running back in the spring transfer window in Colorado's Isaiah Augustave, who led the Buffaloes in rushing and averaged 4.5 yards per carry last season. Augustave gives UVA more depth at the running back spot and could push Brown and Taylor on the depth chart.
-
Wide Receivers: We haven't changed our wide receiver depth chart from before spring football. We still have Trell Harris, Jahmal Edrine, and Kam Courtney as the projected starters with Andre Greene Jr., Jayden Thomas, and Suderian Harrison behind them. Josiah Abdullah is surging after a stellar spring game performance, but he'll need to keep that going in fall camp to push for a spot on the two-deep.
-
Tight Ends: A few different tight ends shined in the spring game, with Dakota Twitty, Hayden Rollison, and John Rogers all having multiple receptions in the game. Rogers in particular could be an intriguing option in the passing game, but we still have Sage Ennis backing up Twitty as Virginia's primary run-blocking tight end when he returns from injury.
-
Offensive Line: This is where there are some major changes. Louisville transfer Monroe Mills, the No. 1 offensive tackle transfer in the portal, is expected to miss the entire 2025 season with an ACL injury suffered in spring practice. Blake Steen, who was UVA's starting right tackle for most of the last two seasons, has transferred to Mississippi State. Virginia brought in Kentucky transfer Wallace Unamba, who started 10 games at right tackle for New Mexico last season, so we have him starting at right tackle with sophomore Ben York behind him. We still have Brady Wilson at center, Noah Josey at left guard, and McKale Boley at left tackle, but we've moved Drake Metcalf to starting right guard after he spent significant time there this spring. Don't be surprised to see transfers Tyshawn Wyatt or Kevin Wigenton II to play significant snaps at a few different spots as well.
