Over here in our UVA bubble, it’s sometimes hard to see what’s happening with other programs. The Hoos, it seems have had a number of walk-ons go on to become fixtures at key positions. Is that the norm elsewhere? I don’t know. This goes back to LBs Jon Copper and Steve Greer, plus safety Byron Glasby.
