Transfers Jelani Woods and Anthony Johnson thriving in their new home at Virginia

Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall has always been very clear what he looks for in potential incoming transfers: they have to fill a position of need, and he has to like them. “I think any one of us in any capacity wants to be needed and wanted,” Mendenhall stated at the ACC Football Kickoff back in June. “I won’t consider a graduate transfer that we don’t really need, but then I better like him as a person, otherwise what a grind that is to be with someone you don’t like every day. Those two criteria have to be met.
