UVA Football: J’Mari Taylor leads 15 ‘Hoos named to 2025 All-ACC Football Team

Here’s how much $35 million for your football team will get you: the UVA Football program had 15 players on the All-ACC Football team rolled out today, the most for our program since way back in 1996, when there were only nine teams in the league.

Tailback J’Mari Taylor, who started his career as an FCS walk-on, was named to the All-ACC first team, after leading the ACC with 997 rushing yards and 14 rushing TDs.

Taylor also had 39 receptions on 49 passing targets for 219 yards through the air in 2025, and a 1-yard TD pass in Virginia’s 27-7 win over Virginia Tech in last week’s regular-season finale.

Selections were determined by an 82-member voting panel made up of 65 media voters and the 17 ACC head coaches.

As you can guess, I wasn’t one of the media voters.
