Virginia’s record-setting arm, but not Virginia’s current QB
Dan Ellis was a productive Virginia quarterback in the 1999-2000 era, highlighted by a school-record six touchdown passes in a 1999 win over Buffalo and a 2000 season with 1,642 passing yards, 7 TDs, and 4 interceptions, showing efficient mid-volume passing and big-play upside. Virginia’s historical passing record pages also place him among the program’s notable career leaders, which speaks to sustained production rather than a one-game cameo. If you mean Virginia’s current quarterback room, this Dan Ellis is not a 2026 active Cavalier, so he is more of a historical fit than a current roster fit.
