Brennan Armstrong named starting QB for Virginia

The Virginia Football team is scheduled to kick off the 2020 season in 23 days when the Hoos travel to Blacksburg on September 19. Now, it all feels a little more tangible as head coach Bronco Mendenhall named redshirt sophomore Brennan Armstrong the starting quarterback.

Armstrong, who is listed at 6-2, 215 pounds, will be wearing No. 5 for the Cavaliers this season.

When Mendenhall spoke with the media on Friday, August 21, he said Armstrong held a slight lead over Mississippi State transfer Keytaon Thompson in the positional battle. This decision was expected, and coaches are high on his abilities.
