CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – The Virginia Athletics Foundation and Virginia Athletics have established a memorial scholarship fund in honor of Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry.
On Tuesday, June 11, the Virginia Athletics Foundation and Virginia Athletics announced the 1.15.41 Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The memorial fund will annually award scholarships to three football players who embody the qualities Chandler, Davis Jr., and Perry carried with them.
“The 1.15.41 Memorial Fund is a powerful reminder and testament to the impact of Devin, Lavel, and D’Sean,” Virginia Director of Athletics Carla Williams said. “Their memory lives on through the recipients of this scholarship and we are extremely grateful for the establishment of this endowment.”
The fund was made possible thanks to an anonymous donor who pledged $1 million.
“Level, Devin, and D’Sean were more than just three football players,” said Fralin Family Head Football Coach Tony Elliott, “They were three young men whose spirit and lives have touched entire communities. This memorial scholarship fund is about making sure every player who puts on the Virginia uniform knows these three men will forever be a part of the Virginia Football family.”
