This is almost certainly not feasible. The timing of it seems wildly unrealistic but the biggest barrier might be the Nova administration. Nova has a pretty strong FCS team but, let's be honest, its FCS. Having explicitely said this was his plan, I cannot fathom the Nova administartion admitting him for just one semester knowing that he would then withdraw. If he was going to Clemson for one football semester and had the potential to be an impact player maybe they "rent" him for one season but not at an FCS school.

It seems that being on the UVA football team is more sensible.

There isn’t a spot for him on UVA’s team. He’s not gonna get a scholarship to play on UVA’s and most walk on spots go to specialists or some are preferred; guys who are good enough to be on it but they don’t have the room for. If he could play football at UVA I imagine he would but UVA isn’t just going to take him because he plays for the lacrosse team; so this isn’t really an option for him

I didn’t think he would get a football scholarship. Time will tell. If he really wants to play lacrosse at UVA, it seems like walking on to the football team is his only option. It’s UVA.... not The Ohio State University.....

He along with Saustad would do a lot to Help cure Virginia’s inexperience on defense this season. Even Assuming Cormier moves from midfield to full time attack and Shellenberger is ready to contribute, Gordon, Kraus and Dickson are now gone from the attack unit. There may be room for another quality attack man just to have normal depth numbers

Conners returning sounds just like what UVa needed with Rock leaving the program this Spring. Bower and Matsui gained some experience this Spring. Kology back for a senior year and Saustad returning from injury should give UVa a strong group of long poles.

Perhaps Tiffany will be looking more for an invert midfielder if Cormier moves to attack, and play Shellenberger at midfield. Gordon and Kraus were going to be gone anyways, but replacing Dickson could be in the cards.

Hard to know where the incoming freshmen's level of play will be at - missing their senior seasons and perhaps some club ball this summer, but UVa brings in 3 highly ranked offensive recruits: Connell Kumar (M), Russell Maher(A) and Patrick McIntosh (A). Not to mention 2 more highly ranked long poles: Ben Wayer and Michael Prestipino.

It is interesting that UVa isn't mentioned in the Sowers pursuit.

A school spokesman confirmed Tuesday that any seniors who opt to return for the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA will have to have their coaches work out scholarship funding from the team’s existing budget.

If the rumors are true, where does Charlie Bertrand fit in on this attack? From what I recall he is a lefty attackman. He is not transferring in for one year to not play. Any ideas?

What is Lars thinking? He's got one of the best attack units in the game and the #1 recruit from 2019 (Shellenberger) redshirting last year to get a shot this coming year. Really weird transfer, if true. Maybe Moore goes back to midfield and they run two lefties out on attack?

Doubt you move Moore from attack now. Seems more likely to me either Cormier or Bertrand play midfield.
