According to On3\u2019s Pete Nakos<\/a>, Virginia Cavaliers<\/a> quarterback Chandler Morris<\/a> is questionable heading into the matchup against Duke<\/a>. Morris left the Wake Forest<\/a> game after taking a late hit while sliding, putting his status for Saturday into question.<\/p>\n

\u201cSources tell @On3sports<\/a> that Virginia QB Chandler Morris remains in concussion protocol and is viewed as questionable for Saturday against Duke,\u201d Nakos said<\/a> via X. \u201cThere is legitimate hope he can play this weekend. Will continue to be evaluated leading up to gametime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris joined Virginia this offseason, being a big-time get out of the NCAA transfer portal<\/a>. He has helped them turn in the best season under head coach Tony Elliott<\/a> thus far. In 10 games, Morris has thrown for 2,088 yards, 12 touchdowns, and five interceptions. His legs are always a valuable weapon too, adding 214 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Leaving the Wake Forest game early, Morris only put up six passes for 19 yards. <\/p>\n

If Morris cannot go, backup Daniel Kaelin<\/a> will get the nod. He was another portal addition, coming via Nebraska<\/a>. Virginia struggled to get anything going with Kaelin out there vs. Wake Forest, a game they eventually lost. With a little more time to prepare, everyone will be hoping for better results if Kaelin does have to play.<\/p>\n

Looking at the whole team, UVA sits with an 8-2 record. They are right in the hectic mess that is the ACC Championship race, only holding one conference loss. A trip to Charlotte is certainly still possible, something they have done just once in 2019.<\/p>\n

More on Chandler Morris, performance throughout 2025<\/p>\n

Virginia might not be the first stop for Morris during his college football season but it will be his last. After starting out at\u00a0Oklahoma<\/a>,\u00a0TCU<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0North Texas<\/a>\u00a0have also been considered home. Morris got the opportunity to play at the power conference level again in 2025 and chose UVA.<\/p>\n

The partnership has worked out with a great deal of success. Not a bad way for Morris to go out in his final season of eligibility.<\/p>\n

Two games remain on the Virginia schedule, beginning with the trip to Durham to face off against Duke. A bye week then takes place before hosting\u00a0Virginia Tech<\/a>\u00a0in a massive rivalry game. You know UVA is hoping to have its star quarterback available as the push for an ACC Championship and College Football Playoff<\/a> spot continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to On3\u2019s Pete Nakos, Virginia Cavaliers quarterback Chandler Morris is questionable heading into the matchup against Duke.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[152258,399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-290120","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-chandler-morris-20-highland-park","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ncaafootball","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
