Not sure if he will be a punt returner for us or added to the DB unit. Given he is following Hilliard, guess I will assume a DB for now....could be a DB that also does punt return.

Dean Engram is transferring from Wisconsin, but senior linebacker C.J. Goetz is set to return

Dean Engram, whose father, Bobby Engram, was UW's offensive coordinator this past season, is leaving. C.J. Goetz will return for a sixth season.

Interesting about his father. Parents are Bobby and Deanna Engram ... father is wide receivers coach of the Baltimore Ravens ... father was a three-time All-American and the 1994 Biletnikoff Award winner as a receiver at Penn State and went on to play 14 seasons in the NFL

Dad is the WR Coach for Washington Commanders now after a brief stint as OC/QB Coach @ Wisconsin.

It used to be that you had 5 years to play 4. With Covid that presumably became 6 to play 5. He entered in ‘99 and red-shirted. 2020 doesn’t count. He didn’t play in 2023. Doesn’t he only have one season left or does the running time window rule no longer apply in this era of the NCAA eunuch?

It’s a fair question - that why I put in a a question mark.

In fairness, his first 10 years were red shirt years while he developed. Plus he got a Covid year too.

Larval years are important strength building years for developing pupae

Bobby Engram was an amazing receiver at PSU. Was part of that great '94 team with Kerry Collins and Ki-Jana Carter. Should have won the NC that year instead of Nebraska but those were the days when NC were decided by voters and PSU was stuck playing in the Rose Bowl against a lower ranked Oregon team. Didn't know his kid played football. Welcome to UConn!
