Virginia’s offensive line received two boosts Tuesday when Notre Dame transfer John Montelus and Oklahoma State transfer Brandon Pertile signed their grants-in-aid to play at UVA this fall. Each player will have one year of eligibility. Virginia has now collected three offensive linemen transfers this off-season: Notre Dame’s Colin McGovern signed with UVA earlier this month.
Both Montelus and Pertile come to Charlottesville looking for redemption. Montelus was highly-regarded out of high school. He was a consensus 4-star recruit in the class of 2013, according to 247 Sports. He made little impact at Notre Dame, however, playing in only 6 games during his career.
