Virginia Football Releases Depth Chart For Upcoming Matchup vs SMU

Virginia football has unveiled its projected lineup for Saturday’s high-stakes ACC clash against SMU, a game that could determine the Cavaliers’ playoff aspirations. Key absences loom: star wide receiver Rico Flores Jr.

will miss the matchup after showing flashes earlier this season, forcing depth receivers like Da’Shawn Martin, Kam Courtney, and Jacquon Gibson to step up. On defense, starting cornerback Omillio Agard—one of the unit’s most reliable performers—was ruled out for the season with an ACL injury, leaving backups like Jam Jackson and Jacobie Henderson to fill the void.

The offense will need to tighten up after stumbling in three straight FBS games, including a win over Syracuse, while the defensive line and secondary face a critical test against a Mustangs unit that lacks a dominant pass rush but could exploit any offensive miscues. With Virginia’s playoff hopes hanging in the balance, consistency and execution will separate them from another stumble in a conference title chase.
