Bronco Mendenhall continues to put in work right up to National Signing Day. UVA has picked up another QB, this time from the SEC. See the story below:
Virginia football’s success on the graduate transfer front continued today, when former Missouri quarterback Marvin Zanders announced his commitment to the Cavaliers.
“Just committed to UVA! So excited for this new opportunity! #HoosRising #GoHoos #UVA,” Zanders announced via Twitter this afternoon.
Zanders plans to graduate from Missouri this spring before enrolling on Grounds. As a graduate transfer, the 6’1″, 185-pound signal caller will be eligible to play immediately. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
A dual-threat quarterback prospect out of Raines High School (Jacksonville, FL), Zanders, who totaled over 2,500 yards of offense each of his last two years of high school, chose Missouri over Duke, Florida, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, and Kentucky. He redshirted in 2014, which was his true freshman season, before playing in only one game his redshirt freshman campaign and eight games this past season as a redshirt sophomore. Zanders completed 10-of-12 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown and rushed 35 times for 198 yards and two scores for the Tigers in 2016.
