I've heard we can expect a few other departures...but I will wait to see if the kids involved go public with it first.
The departure of Keyion Dixon explains why the staff said they are interested in finding a transfer WR.

Disappointing transfer. He some pretty good speed.

One of the biggest reasons this sucks is he's a CT kid that grew up loving UConn. From his commitment:
Keyion Dixon said he'll never forget one moment while watching his first UConn football game in 2010 at Rentschler Field, a 40-21 victory over Vanderbilt.
"I remember every detail of the Vandy game, Dixon said." I sat in the end zone, and Jordan Todman was great with 190 rushing yards. He had a 43-yard run and looked up after he was tackled.
"I felt like he was looking at me. I said to myself, 'That's a dream I'd like to achieve.'"
Dixon took a step in that pursuit when he signed his letter of intent with UConn in the Glastonbury High School library conference room Wednesday morning.
With his mother Selicia at his side, Dixon, a 6-3, 180-pound senior, put on his UConn hat and then put his signature on his letter of intent.
"If you put your mind to it, you can achieve great things," he said.
Dixon was stellar last season for Glastonbury with 1,514 rushing yards on 170 carries; he passed for 618 yards (26 of 58). The Tomahawks finished 8-2 and qualified for the Class LL Tournament.
"It has been my dream to play for UConn since I was growing up," said Dixon, an All-Courant selection on offense. "When you first think about it, you didn't think it could happen."
It has. He is a Husky.

Ohhhh Snap! Didn't see that coming.. I thought he was going to be a kid that we'd rely on to blow off the top of defenses... one of our better WRs.. a little surprised...

Receiver Keyion Dixon, quarterback Marvin Washington announce they are transferring from UConn
Two potential starters are transferring out of the UConn football program.
Exactly. But he’ll be upgrading to a much better program

Doesn't he have to sit a year if he stays FBS?

Does anyone know if he graduated? If not, he's going to have to sit out this year and be left with only one year of eligibility.

Is Ian Campbell forgoing his last year of eligibility as well? Also, we already know about Tunstall (transferred to Stony Brook)... I was checking out the website 2019 Spring Roster... Noticed Keyion and Ian were already gone, but not Tunstall (not yet anyways)...

Purdue?
He was extremely underutilized. Big fast could catch but had very opportunity’s to catch the ball.

In hindsight, with our rebuild in play, might be a good idea for Keyion to go to a team where you have a QB in place that can get him the football consistently.. Reality is we have serious question marks on our end as to who can get him the football consistently.. I hate losing a 6'3 talent like that though.. Hate it...
Kind of a stupid post. HC RE is definitely interested in winning

Where is he going? I don't get this one. We have some decent QB options this year. Does he fear ground and pound will be the offense?

You must not be on here much. Non sensical posts like this are his specialty.
He’s talking to a couple schools. The other schools have much better options at QB. No clue but it’s interesting he didn’t mention edsall in his announcement
Haven’t heard that
