Michael Strauss, a quarterback who spent the past two seasons at the University of Virginia, will start classes at the University of Richmond today, the beginning of UR's spring semester.
Strauss has three seasons of eligibility remaining after redshirting in 2010 at Virginia, and not seeing game action this season for the Cavaliers. The 6-foot-2 204-pounder from the Miami area ended this season as the fourth QB on the Cavaliers' depth chart, behind sophomore Michael Rocco, freshman David Watford, and sophomore Ross Metheny. Strauss received his release from Virginia in late November.
In early December, Richmond hired Danny Rocco as coach. Rocco, the coach at Liberty University for the past six seasons, is the uncle of Michael Rocco.
