110 receptions (a school record for a single season), 1,426 receiving yards (fourth most in the last NCAA season) and nine touchdowns. In one season in Charlottesville, Malik Washington delivered the most productive season for a wide receiver in Virginia football history. With Washington now a member of the Miami Dolphins, the Cavaliers’ 2024 wide receiver group will be responsible for his performance.

Luckily for UVA receivers coach Adam Mims, his unit has the talent to do just that. Let’s take a look at all the pass receivers on the 2024 Virginia football team’s roster.

Chris Tyree

The sophomore spent his first four years of college at Notre Dame, where he amassed 3,284 all-purpose yards. Tyree comes to Charlottesville as a true Swiss Army knife, having played his first three seasons in South Bend as a running back before switching to wide receiver. In his senior year, he led the team with 484 receiving yards, averaging 18.62 yards per reception, which is the 15th best average in the country. Tyree is an elite route runner with incredible speed who will help fill the void left by Malik Washington, who will take his position as a slot receiver.

As a bonus to his ability as a pass-catcher, Tyree scored touchdowns on both kicks and punts during his time at Notre Dame and could help provide some game-winning plays for the Cavaliers’ special operations unit.

As for his injury status, Tyree was seen wearing a boot at the start of camp but has since returned to full practice.

Virginia Football Injury Report: Update on Tyree, Boley, Wilson, Jackson and Brown

Malachi Fields

The senior from Charlottesville was the No. 2 receiver in the Tony Muskett-Anthony Colandrea tandem last season and finished second in pass catches and receiving yards with 58 catches for 811 yards. The 6’4″ wide receiver also caught five touchdown passes, three of them in the final two games of the season. Fields is expected to step up his game and be a sure target for any quarterback.

JR Wilson (injured)

After recording ten catches for 98 yards last season, the junior from Brooklyn, NY is expected to play a much larger role this season. Wilson is currently battling a knee injury and is expected to miss the start of the season. When he returns, he will look to use his 6-foot-4 to be a dominant pass-catcher in this Virginia offense that ranked 46th in passing offense in 2023.

Sackett Wood

Wood returns as the projected starting tight end after recording nine catches for 141 yards in nine games last season. Wood will compete with Harvard transfer Tyler Neville for the top spot (we’ll talk more about Neville shortly).

Trell Harris

Harris comes to the team after playing his final two years at Kent State, where he had 26 receptions, 400 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot-1 junior is a candidate to start in Week 1 and could replace Wilson if he continues to be sidelined.

Andre Greene, Jr.

Greene Jr. transferred to Virginia after spending his first two seasons at ACC rival North Carolina, where he received minimal playing time, which is a possible reason for his departure. The 6-foot-2 sophomore has three years of eligibility remaining and will immediately play a significant role as a backup. Additionally, Greene Jr. could be a starter for the remainder of training camp, depending on Wilson’s injury status and his performance.

Suderian Harrison

Rounding out the second line is the 5’10 sophomore, who backs up Tyree as the second slot receiver. Harrison had nine catches for 94 yards as a freshman last season.

Tyler Neville

The second tight end is Tyler Neville, who transferred from Harvard and caught 62 passes for 698 yards and eight touchdowns in three seasons. Neville was twice named First Team All-Ivy at Harvard, bringing experience to Virginia’s tight end team. Neville and Wood are currently battling for the top spot, but both players are expected to be on the field against Richmond.

Also on the wide receiver list are sophomore Jaden Gibson, who had five catches for 54 yards last season, sophomore Titus Ivy, freshman three-star recruit Triston Ward, junior KJ Bratton, senior Ethan Davies, freshman Trevor Ladd, senior Dillon Tennyson, sophomore Claiborne Richards and freshman Kameron Courtney. Of that list, Gibson, Davies, Ivy and Courtney are the top candidates for playing opportunities this fall.

As for the tight ends, Clemson transfer Sage Ennis is expected to be used primarily as a run blocker, with additional depth coming from juniors Karson Gay, Henry Duke and Dakota Twitty, sophomores Tekai Kirby and Hayden Rollison, and freshmen Henry Omohundro and John Rogers.
