TIFFANY ON SUNDERLAND
2023 – “Truitt has already made a splash with his collegiate career, demonstrating an offensive acumen and intuitiveness for finding openings in a defense both as an off-ball player looking for a feed, and as the feeder himself. Truitt lit up the scoreboard during our Alumni scrimmage, and his teammates recognize the tremendous value he brings to our program both as a scorer and rider. Truitt is smoothly navigating the sensitive decision-making of when to be the aggressor on offense versus recognizing when a linemate has a better opportunity.”

WHY UVA?

  • “I chose UVA because as a kid I grew up watching the games and I knew one day I wanted to play at Klöckner stadium. When the recruiting process came around, there was no call I was more excited about than the calls with UVA. I could get a sense of the strong culture and I could immediately tell it was something I wanted to be a part of.”
