01/03/2022 | Football
RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond football head coach Russ Huesman announced the addition of transfer quarterback Reece Udinski to the program for the 2022 season. Udinski has spent time at both Maryland and VMI during his playing career.
Udinski brings a wealth of experience to the program, having played 39 games in his career, including 27 starts at VMI, and passing for almost 8,000 yards in his collegiate career. He spent the 2021 season as the backup quarterback at Maryland, appearing in four games for the Terrapins, including the Pinstripe Bowl victory over Virginia Tech. He finished the year 11-of-15 for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Udinski was a star at VMI, playing in 35 games in his career and making 27-straight starts prior to an injury during the spring 2021 season. He finished his Keydet career first in program history and sixth all-time in Southern Conference history with 7,877 career passing yards. He was 783-of-1,268 passing in his career while throwing for 48 touchdowns and rushing for four scores.
Udinski started the first four games of the spring season, winning all four to launch the Keydets into their NCAA FCS Playoff campaign. He was 124-of-172 for 1,087 yards in the first four games, passing for seven scores and only recording two interceptions before suffering a season-ending injury.
Udinski was named Second Team All-Southern Conference in 2019 when he passed for 3,276 yards on 306-of-479 passing. He finished the year with 19 touchdowns while only throwing five interceptions all season. His 3,276 yards passing in the Air Raid offense set a VMI single-season passing record while his completion percentage of 63.9 percent was the best in program history. He opened the year with an FCS-record 368 consecutive passes without an interception and posted 11 games with 200 yards passing or more.
In his first season as a starter in 2018, Udinski passed for 3,082 yards on 302-of-523 passing. He set VMI records for completions, attempts and total plays, while also tying the program record with 20 touchdowns through the air. He established VMI single-game records for passing yards with 491 against Western Carolina while his 72 pass attempts are the second-most in a game in SoCon history.
Udinski played his prep career at North Penn High School outside of Philadelphia. As a senior, he was named All-Area Player of the Year leading the Knights to a 6A District 1 title and a 14-1 record. He was named First Team All-State after becoming only the second player in state high school history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a single season. He set the mark with 4,119 yards, eclipsing the District 1 record by over 800 yards. Additionally, he was named the Most Valuable Player of the prestigious Big 33 All-Star game in 2017.
