Virginia landed another transfer QB today in the form of a UVa legacy. It was discovered by multiple outlets that Texas Longhorns QB Matthew Merrick is transferring to Virginia as a QB.
As a transfer, Merrick will sit out the 2017 season after redshirting his freshman season in 2015, he did not see any playing time in 2016 and will have two seasons of eligibility left starting in 2018. He reportedly walked away from the UT program this spring, and many expected him to be done with football.
Just spoke to Matthew Merrick.
