UConn 2026 Outbound Portal Transfers (*No transfer speculation until announced/posted*)

[FfldCntyFan]

One area where I was disappointed this past season was in the trenches.

Although our pass blocking was very good, we weren't as good as I expected in moving bodies from the line of scrimmage, especially against some of the lesser teams on our schedule, who if we are where we should be, would have been getting pushed around the field all game. Our defensive front also wasn't what should have been expected, and played a major role in a couple of close wins that shouldn't have been close as well as the three OT losses.

The MAC has been know for physical play, punching above their weight class, even if they aren't a top tier G level conference. Hopefully the new regime will lead to more physicality in the trenches.

The type of linemen needed who can block for an outside zone running scheme aren't the same linemen who can move the LOS at will. Even against some of UConn's "lesser" opponents this year. The linemen who are agile enough to block a zone run and still move piles, aren't at UConn. They're at OSU, Bama, Georgia, etc.

We beat the ACC champions and came in 2nd in Independent...

And Notre Dame came in 2nd to last.

Utah has a guy Spencer Fano who can do both. I think he's projected to go top 5 in this year's draft. Also the Worlds kid at Oregon. Mauigoa at UM is a third.

There are two pros who I think epitomize the definition of a complete offensive lineman - Walter Jones and Trent Williams. Those two were the best I've seen really at any level. They do not, as the saying goes, grow on trees and nor do they come cheaply.

That's why the didn't make the CFP

Last time a #NorwalkCT actually sniffed Nebraska was a great RB from my Alma mater (Brien McMahon Highschool) was Marvin Tomlin.
Would be nice to see that come to fruition if he chooses not to stay here.

The Nebraska QB Raiola has entered the portal. There is no head coaching change there. Cam may want to stick around. Candle could be a breath of fresh air to the program and he could be on board at the start of it.

He was never there. He’s in high school.

He was still a MAC recruit, right?
