Looking forward to watching Travis collapse the pocket all season long.

Read in one of the other articles recently linked how Jones and VanDenmark basically just got their redshirt last season that they didn't get as freshmen.

These two players I think represent the high end of UConn's talent.

I'd throw Rose in there as well. Hopefully he is fully recovered from the pec injury. All three have a shot at the next level.

Possibly Omar Fortt too.

Good catch. Wasn't meant to be an exhaustive or exclusionary list but I do think Jones and Van Demark will be first two Huskies taken in next year's draft.

Defensive holding?!

Only if they throw the flag.

Happy for Travis. There are some guys when you are around in person, you say to yourself, he’s a really big dude. In Travis’s case the thing that impresses Chief is how thick he is. You get a sense he can’t be moved by a blocker.
As an aside, Appalachian State, Central Michigan and San Diego State all have 2 nominees; just like Alabama and Clemson. Pretty amazing.

Possibly Omar Fortt too.

Omar Fortt should be a standout. He’s always had great speed and instinct for the ball but with his upper body weakness couldn’t hold on for the tackle. That’s over now after his strength training. He’s now much closer to being an NFL prospect than an NFL pipe dream.

If this is true it bodes well for us overall.
