Morgan Moses - T - Cavaliers

Virginia T Morgan Moses has been invited to the Senior Bowl.

Moses moved from right to left tackle this season. The Cavaliers are dreadful, but they have a history of putting offensive linemen in the NFL. There isn't a huge difference between left and right tackle in the NFL nowadays, but Moses is a massive frame that could struggle on an island on the left side. The senior was also invited to the NFLPA game.

David Watford - QB - Cavaliers

Virginia head coach Mike London has named redshirt sophomore David Watford the team's starting QB.

Watford redshirted the 2012 season after falling behind Michael Rocco and Phillip Sims on the depth chart. However, he has some playing experience dating back to 2011 when he appeared in 10 games. He beat out redshirt freshman Greyson Lambert for the starting job.

Jeff Farrar - DB - Cavaliers

Jeff Farrar, the country's No. 188 overall recruit according to ESPN, committed to Virginia on Wednesday.

Virginia head coach Mike London said senior WR Tim Smith is the fastest player ont he team.

"He can do it all," London said. Smith is healthy, and the Cavaliers coaching staff appears to be expecting big things form the speedy receiver. He only played in nine games last season, registering 20 catches for 405 yards and four touchdowns.

Morgan Moses - T - Cavaliers

CBS Sports' Dan Brugler believes senior T Morgan Moses is Virginia's top prospect heading into the 2013 season.

"Moses has a wide base, broad shoulders and uses angles well to shield defenders with strong hands to latch and drive," Brugler writes. "Moses lunges and bends at the waist too much, but his size and length combination usually allows him to get away with it." Brugler added that Moses projects to the NFL better than former teammate Oday Aboushi.

South Carolina was the first SEC team to offer him a scholarship coming out of high school.

Oday Aboushi - T - Cavaliers

Jets selected Virginia OT Oday Aboushi with the No. 141 overall pick.

Aboushi (6-foot-5 3/8, 308) made 32 starts for the Cavs, including his final 32 at left tackle. While blessed with left-tackle height and arms (33 7/8"), Aboushi is a so-so athlete, struggled with edge speed in the ACC, and isn't a power blocker. He ran 5.45 at the Combine and managed just 17 reps on the bench. Rotoworld draft guru Josh Norris has suggested Aboushi may need to move to right tackle in the pros, while others believe he'll play guard.

Oday Aboushi - T - Cavaliers

Virginia T Oday Aboushi is visiting the St. Louis Rams on April 15.

Aboushi is a talented prospect that has experience at left tackle but there are questions whether he'll stay at the position when he comes to the pros. He's struggled with speed rushers in the past, which could lead him to playing offensive guard. Overall, he needs to improve at the point of contact and getting off the snap in timely fashion.

Oday Aboushi - T - Cavaliers

Virginia T Oday Aboushi's forty topped out at 5.44 seconds, unofficially.

Aboushi played left tackle at Virginia and had his struggles against speed edge rushers, namely against Florida State in 2011. However, once in good position with his hands inside, Aboushi can control the opposition very well.

Oday Aboushi - T - Cavaliers

The NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah believes Virginia T Oday Aboushi looked like a mid-rounder during Senior Bowl week.

"Most clubs believe he will be better suited to slide inside and play offensive guard at the next level," Jeremiah wrote. Aboushi consistently lost on first contact in Mobile and was one of the worst edge blockers during practice. Still, his tape showed a player likely to be drafted on the second day.

Oday Aboushi - T - Cavaliers

Virginia's Oday Aboushi "has all the tools to be a good starting left tackle in the NFL," according to former NFL scout Russ Lande.

Lande loves Aboushi's size, especially when it combines "with his smooth athleticism, good technique and competitiveness." There were times when the cavalier looked excellent on the blind side and others where he was abused by edge rushers with speed. We think his natural fit is on the right side, but Aboushi could prove us wrong in Mobile.

Michael Rocco - QB - Cavaliers

Ex-Virginia junior QB Michael Rocco will transfer to Richmond and will be eligible to play during the 2013 season.

Rocco will play for his uncle, Danny, who is the Spiders' coach. His transfer was somewhat surprising, as Rocco started some games down the stretch after splitting time with Phillip Sims, but we are guessing the junior was told he would not be given that role heading into the 2013 season.
