Accolades Continue Rolling in For Dontayvion Wicks

Dontayvion Wicks has followed a basic pattern this season. Ball out on the weekends, then watch the accolades roll in early the following week. The trend continued on Monday after Wicks’s two-touchdown performance vs. Georgia Tech. First, he earned ACC Wide Receiver of the Week for the second straight week (and third time this season). He was the only UVA player to be honored this week.

Later on, Wicks was recognized by a bona fide legend on the biggest stage. During ESPN’s lead-up to Monday Night Football, Randy Moss featured Wicks’ second-quarter, go-up-and-get-it touchdown on his “You Got Moss’d” segment.

The catch was also chosen as one of the ACC’s top plays of the week.

Altogether, Wicks finished with six catches for 168 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday. He leads the ACC in receiving yards (847) and yards per catch (22.3), and is tied for second with eight touchdown receptions.

Virginia (6-2) travels to No. 25 BYU (6-2) this coming Saturday for a 10:15 p.m. game on ESPN2.
