Beau Pribula, a graduate‑level transfer quarterback, arrived at the University of Virginia after a whirlwind recruitment that included a visit to Tennessee. Ultimately, the Missouri native chose the Cavaliers, citing a clear pathway to the starting lineup.
A Fresh Start in the ACC
During spring practices, Pribula outperformed incumbent candidates and was officially named the Cavaliers’ starter. His appointment marks the culmination of a career that began at Penn State, where he threw for 424 yards and nine touchdowns, and later at Missouri, where he posted 1,914 passing yards, 11 scores and 297 rushing yards in ten starts.
Pribula’s final year of eligibility now belongs to Virginia, giving the program a seasoned arm with a blend of passing and rushing ability. His performance comes as the Cavaliers look to rebound from a challenging previous campaign.
Tennessee’s Quarterback Landscape
Meanwhile, the University of Tennessee added Colorado transfer Ryan Staub to its quarterback room. Staub joins George MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon in a three‑person battle for the starting role, though analysts currently view him as the least likely of the trio to win the position.
