Dre Bly To Enter Virginia Hall of Fame
Posted Mar 22, 2017
Former Tar Heel All-America cornerback Dré Bly will be inducted into his home state of Virginia's Sports Hall of Fame April 29. Bly, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2014, was recruited by Virginia as a receiver and by Virginia Tech as an all-purpose “athlete.” UNC coach Mack Brown thought Bly’s best position was cornerback, and was quickly proven right.
