McCalan Beason brings dual-threat juice to UVA Wise
In the 2026 season, redshirt freshman QB McCalan Beason has already flashed real playmaking pop for UVA Wise, throwing for 338 yards and 3 touchdowns while rushing for 98 yards and 2 more scores in a Week 1 outing against Presbyterian[1][10]. He looks like a legit dual-threat headache: live arm, enough burst to punish defenses on the ground, and the kind of confidence that earned him SAC Offensive Player of the Week[1][10]. For a team looking for upside at quarterback, he’s the kind of athlete who can tilt a game in a hurry.
