ORDER OF THE
CROSSED SABRES
"In grateful recognition of exemplary service, selfless commitment, and extraordinary impact on Cavalier Football.”
____________________
Created in 2004, The Order of the Crossed Sabres is awarded annually and represents the highest honor given by the Virginia Football Alumni Club.
Below are the men and woman who have gone above and beyond - and often, quietly behind the scenes - in shaping and supporting our program in varied and significant ways. Individually, they are players, coaches, doctors, trainers, donors, administrators, and statisticians. Collectively, they represent the shared mission of seeing our program flourish; in every facet, thick and thin, year after year.
This award was created on behalf of all alumni. As such, we covet your input on the nomination and selection of each recipient.
