Virginia’s rising depth-piece with real upside inside
Grant Ellinger is a 6-foot-4, 303-pound third-year offensive lineman at Virginia who has steadily moved from promising recruit to trusted roster piece, with coaches pointing to a strong spring and a path to backup right guard in 2026. In 2025, he appeared in all 14 games and was noted as a special-teams stalwart, while PFF data through nine games gave him a 64.5 grade over 38 snaps, suggesting a developing lineman with functional depth value and future interior-line potential. If you want size, effort, and coachability with room to grow, he’s worth a look.
