Designated for Assignment

Official word came down about the Heisman voting this evening and Virginia has landed its fifth-ever Top 10 finisher (Blogging Correction: It was learned after publishing that Herman Moore placed fifth in 1990, giving UVa five, not four as previously listed in this spot).
UVa defensive end Chris Long secured one first-place vote, two second-place votes and was listed by 10 voters as the third-best football player in the country. In all, Long brought home 17 points, finishing 13 points behind LSU defensive end Glenn Dorsey.
According to a release from UVa, “All-star halfback Bill Dudley was fifth in 1941, quarterback Shawn Moore was fourth in 1990 and running back Thomas Jones was eighth in 1999.”
Ponder this over a pint glass of eggnog: Who will be the sixth Cavalier to finish in the Top 10?
Could it be Cedric Peerman next season? If character matters, well, C.P. would open the season on many ballots.
How about quarterback Jameel Sewell or scatback Mikell Simpson in ‘09? Sewell will have gaudy career stats by the end, but he must continue to progress. Simpson would have to hold off Keith Payne and a stable full of wannabe replacements.
Peter Lalich in 2010 would some sense, but only as a senior. He certainly wants to pass that much for Virginia.
Maybe, just maybe, the answer lives in Connecticut at this point and plays tailback. Does the name “Torrey Mack” ring a bell? It should.
