The Afternoon Break – Greer A Captain
May 23rd, 2012 by Kris
Virginia football coach Mike London announced that senior Steve Greer has been added as a team captain for the upcoming season.
“I was reviewing the voting for the team captains and noticed that Steve Greer was just one vote shy of being selected by his teammates,” London said in a news release. “Steve has meant a lot to our football program over the past four years and I think it is appropriate he serve as one of our team’s captains for his senior season. He and the other captains will do a great job representing our team this fall.”
Greer led the team in tackles last season from his middle linebacker position; he also led the team in tackles in 2009. Last seasons, his efforts earned him second-team All-ACC honors. Greer posted 103 tackles and 2 sacks in 2011 as the Hoos made a run to the Chick-fil-A bowl.
