UVa picked up a last-minute addition for the offense, with Notre Dame WR Jayden Thomas committing to the Hoos. Thomas had offers/interest from VT, Auburn, Duke and others, but went with UVa. Thomas played at Pace Academy in Atlanta for UVa DE's coach Chris Slade. Thomas had 64 catches and 7 touchdowns in his Irish career; This year he caughed 18 passes for 167 and 2 TDs. Many have speculated that he could also play TE, given his physical frame.
