Virginia fans got some bad news on Monday afternoon as football head coach Bronco Mendenhall confirmed that electric wide receiver Lavel Davis Jr. has torn his ACL. Davis Jr., a second year, was looking to build off of a highly successful freshman campaign that saw him haul in 515 yards and five touchdown catches. His 25.8 yards per reception mark was best in the ACC and second in the nation.
“He’s a really good player we expected and knew that he was capable of even more than he did a year ago,” Mendenhall said in Monday’s Zoom press conference.
