Ahead of Coach Tony Elliott’s press conference Tuesday, Virginia released its week three depth chart. Once again, there are no major changes from the previous depth chart released during NC State week and Norfolk State week.

The only notable change in the two-deep is that second-year wide receiver Isaiah Robinson is now listed as the No. 3 X receiver, replacing first-year Dylan Cope.

Here is the starting lineup, first for the offense:

QB Beau Pribula
RB Jekail Middlebrook
WR (X) Rico Flores Jr. or Ty’Lyric Coleman
WR (Slot) Kameron Courtney
WR (Z) Jacquon Gibson
TE Dakota Twitty
LT McKale Boley
LG Noah Josey
C Drake Metcalf
RG Makilan Thomas
RT Monroe Mills

DE Fisher Camac
DT Jason Hammond
NT Anthony Britton
BANDIT Matthew Fobbs-White
LB Kam Robinson and Maddox Marcellus
SPUR Donavon Platt
CB Jacobie Henderson and Omillio Agard
S Brandyn Hillman and Ethan Minter

Top backups

Based on the Norfolk State game and a few minor injury updates, the top reserves have shifted slightly. Here is the updated “next man up” listed on the depth chart.

QB Eli Holstein
RB Xay Davis or Xavier Brown or Peyton Lewis or Noah Vaughn
WR (X) Isaiah Robinson
WR (Slot) Josiah Abdullah
WR (Z) Da’Shawn Martin
TE Connor Cox or John Rogers
LT Ben York
LG Cole Surber
C Ryan Brubaker or Grayson Reid
RG Dane Wlekinski
RT Jon Adair

DE Nnanna Anyanwu
DT Sichan John
NT Darrion Henry-Young
BANDIT Devon Baxter
LB (MIKE) Landon Danley
LB (WILL) Caleb Hardy
SPUR Jaylen Jones or Corey Costner
CB (Left) Jam Jackson
CB (Right) Justin Ross
FS Christian Ellis or Keke Adams
SS Montino Williams

Another note — Ezekiel Larry was listed as the No. 4 BANDIT. He was previously listed as a defensive end. Now that he is healthy, he could potentially see more playing time there as opposed to the DE spot, which is firmly occupied by the incumbent Fisher Camac.

The Cavaliers will need their reserves to contribute against a questionable but talented West Virginia squad. The Mountaineers are known for great speed and agility, along with a defense that could struggle to contain a potent Virginia offense.

The depth chart is not the final say in terms of playing time. Costner was listed as a backup but ended up starting at SPUR against Norfolk State. Snap counts can also vary depending on matchups. The Cavaliers could prioritize faster players to contain the West Virginia offense.
