UConn and 2022 NFL Draft

Omar Fortt and Ryan Van Demark are both training hard at TEST in preparation for Pro Day. It’s an interesting and challenging regimen and it all culminates on one morning in March. Pro Day for UConn starts at 8am on Wednesday March 23rd.


Fortt and Van Demark deserve a shot at the next level. I think Fortt gets a shot on special teams and Ryan will hopefully turn some heads at the pro day. It's crazy the Ryan didn't get invited to the combine.

-> 14. Travis Jones, Connecticut, defensive tackle:The 6-foot-4 1/2, 326-pound powerhouse (7.5 TFLs, 4.5 sacks) has been the best thing UConn football has had going in a long time. He was once around 360 pounds but really worked on his body and got down to 13 percent body fat. He should get in the mid-30s on the bench and close to 30 inches on his vertical jump. Don’t be shocked if he cracks 4.60 on his shuttle time. He did a 4.57 last offseason. <-

Travis Jones’ day of work (amongst DT):

40yd Dash - 4.92 (4th)
Vertical - 28.50” (7th)
Broad Jump - 9’2” (T4)
3 Cone - 7.33 (T1)
20yd Shuttle- 4.58 (3rd)
 


Travis Jones, Defensive Linemen, UConn

If not for the otherworldly showing by Jordan Davis, Jones would have stolen the show thanks to the freakish display of athleticism during his workout. A sub-five-second 40-yard dash at 4.92 seconds while being 324 pounds is impressive. Laterally, Jones shined with impressive ankle mobility that flashed in the circle drill as well. This showing certainly helped an already rising draft stock.”

Here’s Omar Fortt narrating a tiktok video of his typical training session at the TEST facility. Ryan Van Demark is now there as well as they prepare for a hopeful ascent to the NFL after their pro day. The NFL QB throwing darts to the assembled is none other than UConn’s own— and the Lions’— Tim Boyle sporting his Aaron Rogers-like man bun—lol.
Good luck guys—keep working!!

 
Travis should have a long NFL career. You could see how much potential he had right away freshman year and he is still getting better. Quite a bit of upside in that young man. NFL teams like that.

Pro Day has a way of laser focusing your training. Omar Fortt is working like crazy at the TEST facility— and it shows! Notice the difference?

Omar Fortt is working hard and getting ripped at TEST’s facility. It’s all in preparation to impress all the NFL scouts who will be very much in attendance at UConn's Pro Day next Wednesday. Lots to showcase, lots to prove, for Omar, Ryan Van Demark Kevin Mensah and several others. Good luck to all our Husky hopefuls!
