Article on the best college football offensive lines this season. Virginia comes in at #11
11. Virginia
Record: 3-1, 1-0 | AP rank: Unranked | Stats: 564.5 ypg (7.19 ypp), .27 EPA/play (1.7 EPA/drive)
The biggest difference up front for Virginia has been the healthy return of guard Drake Metcalf, a former UCF transfer who tore his Achilles last spring and missed all of 2024. Neither Metcalf nor fellow starters McKale Boley, Noah Josey, Brady Wilson and Jack Witmer has allowed a sack this season. Together, the group has given up just 13 pressures.
Virginia has been much more physical at the line of scrimmage, ranking fifth in yards on designed runs at 982. The trajectory of Tony Elliott’s program has been on the rise since he brought in O-line coach Terry Heffernan from Stanford.
