Virginia’s 6'4" freshman CB CJ Spence brings rare length and upside
CJ Spence is a high-upside Virginia freshman cornerback whose biggest differentiator is his rare size for the position at 6'4", 190 pounds, giving him the frame to match up with bigger receivers and disrupt passing lanes. He arrived as a top in-state recruit and a top-35 cornerback nationally in the 2025 class, which signals real projection beyond early college stats. In 2025, he logged limited action but showed a clean, active start to his UVA career; his fit is best for a team that values length, developmental ceiling, and press-man potential over immediate finished-product polish.
