Malik Washington, who wore No. 4 for his one season with the Hoos in 2023, led the entire country and set a school record with 110 catches and led the ACC in yards (1,426), and was named a Second Team All-American by the Associated Press.

His new boss, Rick Carlisle, is a UVA graduate, as is Carpenter’s fellow assistant coach Jenny Boucek. Moreover, the Pacers’ roster includes former Virginia standout Jay Huff.
