While the Virginia football team works to integrate new faces again this spring, something that’s become part of the normal routine in the transfer portal era, there is at least a little peace of mind with one unit. The offensive line provides that for Hoos.

UVA returned three starters from last season’s 11-win team. McKale Boley, Noah Josey, and Drake Metcalf each played at least 850 snaps during last fall’s historic run. Monroe Mills and Makilan Thomas, two previous transfers that sat out with injuries last season, have starting experience at their previous schools as well. Together, the Cavaliers can put out a five-man line with more than 11,000 college snaps played between them.
