I think this also means we should expect to see more 3-4 line ups this year on D.

Especially when you consider Kevon Jones has been taking more snaps at the LB position this spring as well.

This player looks very fast on film. His biggest problem is staying on the field because of injuries.

This shows just how committed Mora is to winning this year. Most first year coaches would pass on a guy with one year of eligibility. Mora has said he wants to win immediately, and he is backing it up with actions like this.

( I am trying to resist saying this...but I can't...Edsall would never do something like this... especially in his first year....he would talk about his 6 year plan and developing his players)

 

[PAGS]

Gonna come out of UConn with a PHD! LOL

 

[noeynox]

One year left or not, looks like an athletic pass rusher.

Actually he did. Tre Bell cb from Vanderbilt with one year eligibility left. Came in 2017 had to sit. Played in 2018.

Correct me if I am wrong, but believe he was a Diaco recruit and played in 2017 not 2018.

You're right, Jan of 2016 not 17. My mistake.

Welcome to UConn, Brandon!

 

[Scoe]

Looks he had great pursuit to the ball, high energy. Need a trend setter in year 1 of the Mora era.

 

[Coach J]

He has speed at the LB position that we haven't seen around here, maybe ever.

We've had it, but not in a while. Significant upgrade in speed and size in the outside linebacking position.

 

[jdb50]

We have a tough schedule so nice to improve depth and talent at LB. Plenty of reps for everyone. This staff gets it.

Let’s go Brandon!!!

“Let’s go Brandon”

I’ll 2nd that!!!
