Mike London Reinstates Ausar Walcott to Virginia Football Team

Virginia defensive end Ausar Walcott has been reinstated to the UVA football team. Walcott was suspended from the program because of his role in a fight at James Madison University in Harrisonburg earlier this year.

Last season, Walcott was the teams No. 3 tackler as a linebacker, but this Spring Coach London has moved Walcott to defensive end. Walcott has put on 20 pounds of muscle in the past year and he now has 240 pounds on his 6-4 frame.

Virginia won one more game in 2010 in London’s first season at the helm of the UVA program over the 3 wins Groh finished with in his final season in 2009.

Walcott is still in Mike London’s proverbial doghouse, but if he keeps his nose to the grindstone, and continues his classwork, look for Ausar to be one of the bigger surprises for Jim Reid’s defense in 2011.

Go Hoos, beat the damn Hokies…Just once so I may have a perfect Thanksgiving weekend…
