When BYU offensive coordinator Robert Anae put together his game plan for Saturday’s game against visiting Virginia, you can bet the house that the Cavaliers’ No. 44 was part of the discussion.

That would be Henry IV.

For those unfamiliar with UVa’s roster, that would be Henry Coley, No. 44, middle linebacker and creator of havoc. Because Coley has recently added “IV” to his jersey, we’ve decided to crown him as king of Virginia’s defense. Henry the Fourth of Bayside. Has a nice ring.

In actuality, he is Henry Coley IV and a one-man wrecking crew on the gridiron. A graduate student with a degree in African American studies, Coley has transformed into a coach’s dream. He’s not only a force on the field, but a leader off it, in addition to a two-time All-ACC Academic team member.

Virginia safeties coach Mike Archer, who coached linebackers at various places such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, said that when you game plan, “you’ve got to be aware of 44 and where he is.”

Offensive coaches have to account for the middle linebacker in their protection schemes and their running game.
