Senior CB with ACC Honor Roll pedigree seeing key field time in 2025
John Hurley, a 5'11", 179-lb senior cornerback for the Virginia Cavaliers, stands out as a walk-on who earned ACC Honor Roll recognition in 2023 and is now seeing meaningful field time in the 2025 season. His differentiators include elite intensity, a team-captain personality, and a rare dual-sport background as a 2022 6A State Champion in lacrosse, which sharpens his lateral agility and coverage instincts. Though his 2025 stats show 1 tackle and 0 INTs, his value lies in reliability, defensive discipline, and walk-on grit—traits that make him a high-fit, low-risk addition for teams needing a disciplined, intense CB with leadership DNA. No injury history reported; his intensity level is consistently high.
