Football Frenzy

Four “football” stories for you this morning. First, up congratulations to @UVAFootball alum Joe Reed who scored his first NFL touchdown yesterday.

Current @UVAFootball tight end Tony Poljan was all over ESPN on Sunday morning with replays of his touchdown in the Miami game. Check out the play itself in the tweet below.

The other two stories are about the “other” football, @UVAWomensSoccer and @UVAMensSoccer.

UVA women’s soccer alum Becky Sauerbrunn shared a hilarious story about a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos from US Women’s National Team training camp. As the tweet said “it’s what happens when soccer players stop being polite, and start getting real.”

Orlando City SC Head Coach Oscar Pareja points to Daryl Dike’s performance at the 2019 NCAA College Cup as a big reason why he felt OSC was fortunate to get him at the 5th overall pick of the 2020 MLS SuperDraft. Read the full article from MLSsoccer.com here.
