Last week, Virginia Cavaliers’ CJ Epps earned a full ride scholarship for the year. But he’s not the only one who’s been working his tail off this offseason. The coaching staff announced on Sunday afternoon that three more Hoos would be receiving full rides for the year: junior ILB Reed Kellam, senior WR Ben Hogg, and senior LS (and QB) Joe Spaziani. Here was the reaction video via Twitter:
Shortly before needing to jump out of the way of the celebratory mob, head coach Bronco Mendenhall described them as “three players that I think epitomize our program,” each an upperclassman who have earned the right to be put on aid (and in Spaziani’s case, the right to be put back on aid) for the upcoming season.
