Virginia football adds grad transfer wide receiver Dejon Brissett

The Virginia Cavaliers added a quasi-local graduate transfer to the football program on Monday as Richmond’s Dejon Brissett committed to UVA.

This has been a process. Thank you to the Illinois staff and every other coaching staff that recruited me. But I will finish out my eligibility and education at the University of Virginia! x u2694ufe0f pic.twitter.com/ZE8ylWjqZz

The Brissett name ought to be familiar to Hoo fans: Dejon caught 4 passes in two games for the Spiders in Charlottesville (2016 and 2018), and his younger brother Oshae plays basketball for Syracuse.
