Bronco Mendenhall credits Virginia’s receiving core for elite performances this season

No matter the ups and downs for the Virginia Cavaliers this season, the receiving core has been absolutely stellar all year long as the depth and versatility of weapons has provided quarterback Brennan Armstrong with a fantastic supporting cast in the passing game.

That’s been the case despite a number of injuries as Jelani Woods, Keytaon Thompson, and Dontayvion Wicks have all missed time. When certain guys have been absent, others have stepped up, as Thompson and Henry did on Saturday against Louisville when Wicks left the game in the first half.

“It’s been really fun to see,” says Bronco Mendenhall, as he emphasizes that “there’s a reason that Brennan [Armstrong] is having success, and certainly he’s a huge part of that, [but] who he’s throwing to is also really helping.
