Brogdon decided to attend the University of Virginia where he majored in history, while pursuing a degree in public policy. He played basketball for the Virginia Cavaliers, who were coached by Tony Bennett. He started in only one of the 28 games he played in as a freshman, but he made quite an impact on the court coming off the bench to average 6.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, while averaging more than 20 minutes per game of playing time. He scored 16 points in the Big Ten/ACC challenge, which was a season high, and 14 points in a conference game against Maryland. He lettered for the season, even though he missed the last four games due to a foot injury that required him to have surgery and meant that he had to medically redshirt his sophomore year.

In 2013-2014, Brogdon’s redshirt sophomore year, he started in all 37 games that he played in, leading the team with an average of 12.7 points per game.

His first double-double came against Boston College, he recorded a three-point game-winning shot against Pittsburgh, and scored 23 points against Duke in the ACC Tournament Final. He lettered for a second season and was named by Basketball Times to the All Mid-Atlantic Team, by Virginia Sports Information Directors Association as the All-State Men’s Basketball Player of the Year and All-District Second-Team by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He was also named All-ACC First Team and ACC All-Tournament First Team.

As a junior, Brogdon started in all of the 34 games that he played in and averaged 14 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, while making more than 87 percent of his free throw shots. He lettered again for the season and was a consensus All-American Second Team selection and First-Team All-ACC.

In his final year at the University of Virginia, he averaged more than 18 points per game and almost 20 in conference play.
