Virginia wrestling commit Joey Baughman wins Ohio’s Mr. Football award

Virginia Cavaliers football fans are no strangers to finding diamonds hidden on other teams at UVA. Pro Bowl defensive end Patrick Kerney famously came to Charlottesville on a lacrosse scholarship. And just this week, former UVA track commitment Brenton Nelson was named the ACC’s Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Could another one be coming soon to a Scott Stadium near you?

Joey Baughman is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound quarterback out of Wadsworth, Ohio. He led his Grizzlies to a 10-0 regular-season record in 2017, the school’s first undefeated season in 20 years.
