With the 2022 football season and the Tony Elliott era of UVA football just months away from getting going, five Virginia Cavaliers have been named to Athlon Sports’ All-ACC preseason teams.
First off, junior wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks earned first-team recognition after his breakout 2021 campaign. Last season he wracked up 1,203 receiving yards and nine touchdowns as he broke UVA’s single season receiving record.
Wicks played sparingly as a true freshman in 2019 but missed the 2020 season due to injury. Now that he’s established a fantastic chemistry with Brennan Armstrong there really is no ceiling for the speedy pass catcher in 2022.
