Greater Atlanta Christian (Norcross, GA) class of 2022 safety/wide receiver Will Hardy admits he “didn’t know a ton about Virginia” before Cavalier Co-Defensive Coordinator Nick Howell offered a scholarship on January 14. UVA grabbed the standout junior’s attention by being the first school to offer.

“I didn’t know a ton about Virginia,” Hardy said. “My aunt went to law school there, so I do have one family connection. She loved it. Other than that, I was open to learning about it.”
