Virginia has scored a commitment from Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula in the transfer portal, according to multiple reports.
During his lone season in Columbia, Pribula threw for 1,941 yards, 11 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in eight starts. He also rushed for 297 yards and 6 scores on 95 carries. Pribula has one season of eligibility remaining.
In transferring from Missouri to Virginia, Pribula goes from the middle of the pack (4-4, 8-5 overall) in the SEC to a team that finished first in the ACC regular-season standings (7-1, 11-3). The Cavaliers missed out on the College Football Playoff by losing the ACC championship game to Duke 27-20.
Virginia made a big jump in head coach Tony Elliott’s fourth season, improving from five wins the previous season. The Cavaliers ended the season ranked No. 20 in the AP poll, while the Tigers finished No. 25.
Last season, Virginia was led at quarterback by Chandler Morris, who threw for 3,000 yards and 16 touchdowns in 14 starts.
Interestingly, Virginia and Missouri faced each other this past season in the Gator Bowl. The Cavaliers won that matchup 13-7. Pribula opted out of the game once he entered the transfer portal.
Pribula transferred to Missouri last winter after two seasons as Drew Allar’s backup at Penn State.
