Virginia Football Roster Changes HQ: Hoos Staying, Hoos Going?

It's never been more difficult to keep track of all the roster changes taking place on a given college football team. With the transfer portal and immediate eligibility as well as lingering confusion from COVID-19-era bonus eligibility, it's almost impossible to keep up all of the personnel turnover.

But we're going to give it our best shot.

Below you will find our Virginia Football Roster Changes HQ, a complete position-by-position breakdown of all the players UVA football is expecting to return, lose, or add to its roster for the 2025 season.

A couple of notes before we begin:

• Not every player from the 2024 roster will be listed here; we're limiting ourselves to the players who had a notable role on last year's team.
• We're only working with the information that has been made public, so these roster changes aren't 100% official and won't be until Virginia releases its roster for the 2025 season.
• This is not a depth chart. We'll do an updated projected depth chart later on before the Cavaliers return to the field for spring practice.

This page will be updated as we obtain further information about roster changes. This article was last updated on January 14th at 5pm ET.
