After yet another crazy alley-oop finish in Virginia’s 67-62 victory over Syracuse, freshman forward Ryan Dunn has legally changed his name to Ryan Dunk.

The move was encouraged by teammates and coaches, who called the change “fitting” after Dunn’s 10th dunk of the season, a one-handed catch and finish above the rim.

Momentum had been building for Dunn’s name change ever since his poster dunk in transition against James Madison, but recent putback slams as well as an alley-oop finish against Boston College motivated staff to finally submit the necessary paperwork. Now, efforts will turn to changing Dunn’s first year teammate’s name to Isaac McThreely.
