Virginia QB commit Ely Hamrick brings size, production, and dual-threat juice
Hamrick is a **2026 Virginia commit** who pairs prototypical QB size with real on-field production: at Crest in 2025, he threw for **2,457 yards, 30 TDs and 5 INTs** while also rushing for **651 yards and 16 TDs**; Virginia also notes he was the 2025 **Mr. 5A Football** in North Carolina and a **three-star** prospect. His differentiator is that he is not just a pocket passer—his passing efficiency, mobility, and big-game resume from IMG Academy to Crest suggest a quarterback who can stress defenses in multiple ways and fits an offense that values playmaking outside structure.[2][7][3]
