????????????????????????????????: Brennan Armstrong Named QB1 ???? #GoHoos #THEStandard ????????
I’m honestly a shade surprised by this. Granted, I don’t know a ton about Brennan Armstrong and his quarterbacking ability, but I know Keytaon Thompson is a hell of an athlete.
Sure, he doesn’t have the greatest arm on the planet, but he can extend plays with his feet. Given the quarterback position at the college level, you’d think Virginia would want that option on the table.
The Cavaliers aren’t exactly stacked with talent.
However, the Cavaliers have gone in a different direction, and it’s the Armstrong show at this point. You have to wonder if there’ll be some packages for Thompson.
He’s just too athletic to keep glued to the bench.
