With an eye still on the transfer portal for potential immediate roster upgrades, the UVA football coaching staff has begun to turn more of its attention back towards the high school recruiting trail. The Cavaliers secured their second verbal commitment in the recruiting class of 2026 on Friday, as three-star offensive lineman Dylan Biehl announced his commitment to Virginia following an official visit. Biehl chose the Hoos over offers from more than a dozen Power Four programs, including Virginia Tech, Miami, and Florida State.

A 6’4″, 275-pound offensive lineman out of Lambert High School in Suwanee, Georgia, Biehl is rated a three-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, which also ranks Biehl as the No. 54 interior offensive lineman in the country in the class of 2026, the No. 60 recruit in the state of Georgia, and the No. 634 overall prospect in the nation.

Biehl reeled in an impressive list of scholarship offers, including Virginia Tech, Miami, Florida State, Penn State, Duke, Maryland, Indiana, West Virginia, Stanford, Georgia Tech, and others. In the month of January alone, Biehl was visited by the coaching staffs of North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Stanford, UCF, UCLA, Maryland, Louisville, and South Carolina and Biehl visited Florida State on January 18th.

Clearly, he was getting some serious attention from many Power programs, but the Virginia coaching staff put the full-court press on Biehl, though, visiting him at home on January 21st, visiting his high school on January 27th, and then hosting Biehl for a visit this weekend. That sealed the deal, as Biehl officially pledged to the Cavaliers on Friday.
